LSG Bolsters Bowling Unit with Bharat Arun Ahead of IPL 2026

Arun's move comes after KKR's disappointing 2025 season and the departure of head coach Chandrakant Pandit. While KKR won the IPL title in 2024 under Pandit and Arun, their subsequent performance led to a reshuffling of the coaching staff. Arun's departure was reportedly amicable, with KKR recognizing the potential for conflicting coaching styles with Dwayne Bravo also mentoring the bowlers.

LSG hopes Arun's guidance will help them return to playoff contention in the 2026 IPL season. His focus on long-term development aligns with LSG's investment in young Indian talent. The franchise aims to build a strong, consistent bowling attack capable of competing with the best batting lineups in the IPL.
