Kkr withdrew after mutual consent
KKR and Bharat Arun have left together with mutual consent. KKR believes that having a lot of coaching inputs can cause confusion for the team. Team mentor Dwayne Bravo also plays an active role in the bowling strategy. That is why Bharat Arun was allowed to enter the new team.
The KKR policy has been that if a staff member wants to pursue his professional career, the franchise does not come in his way. The same thing was told to Arun.
Bharat Arun has played 6 international matches for India.

After the arrival of Bharat Arun, it has become clear that the tenure of Zaheer Khan, who was the mentor of LSG last season, will not progress further. His contract was one year old and is no longer being renewed. Apart from this, the return of Head Coach Justin Langer is also considered difficult.
Lucknow made a mentor for the 2025 IPL season.
