Pandit has had stints with Mumbai, Maharashtra and Kerala as a coach. The 58-year-old former domestic bulwark is one of the most successful coaches in the Indian local league.

The former Director of Rajasthan Cricket had in the past three years coached Vidarbham leading them to victories in the Ranji Trophy and Irani Trophy.
