Part of situation: Zaheer Khan appointed Chennai Super Kings head coach (8 clusters)

Chennai Super Kings overhaul coaching staff for IPL 2027

Chennai Super Kings IPL 2027 Gareth Batty Zaheer Khan Michael Hussey

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are undergoing a major restructuring of their coaching department ahead of the 2027 Indian Premier League season. The franchise has appointed former England spinner Gareth Batty as an assistant coach. Batty leaves Surrey County Cricket Club, where he served as head coach and led the team to three consecutive County Championship titles from 2022 to 2024.

Batty will work under the newly appointed head coach, Zaheer Khan, who replaces Stephen Fleming after an 18-year tenure. The overhaul also includes the appointment of Mohit Sharma as bowling coach, replacing Eric Simons.

Several long-standing staff members are departing the franchise, including batting coach Michael Hussey, who had been with the team since 2018, bowling coach Eric Simons, assistant coach Rajiv Kumar, fielding coach James Foster, strength and conditioning coach Greg King, and physiotherapist Tommy Simsek. These changes follow a period where the five-time champions missed the playoffs for three consecutive seasons.
