CSK Considers Hemang Badani and Overseas Options for New Head Coach Role
Chennai Super Kings are set to appoint a new head coach following Stephen Fleming's departure after the 2026 IPL season. Former India batsman Hemang Badani, backed by MS Dhoni who favors an Indian-led coaching staff, has emerged as the frontrunner. Badani brings IPL coaching experience with Delhi Capitals and success in other T20 leagues. While Dhoni supports an Indian coach, CSK ownership continues to consider overseas candidates before making a final decision.
