Chennai Super Kings Revamp Coaching Staff Ahead of IPL 2027 Season
Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have announced a major overhaul of their coaching and support staff ahead of the IPL 2027 season. The franchise parted ways with long-serving batting coach Michael Hussey, bowling coach Eric Simons, assistant coach Rajiv Kumar, fielding coach James Foster, and physio Tommy Simsek. Former India pacer Zaheer Khan has been appointed head coach, with Mohit Sharma as bowling coach and Gareth Batty joining as assistant coach. CSK's recent underperformance prompted these changes as they prepare for the upcoming season.
