Ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2018 mega auction on January 27th and 28th in Bengaluru, reinstated franchise Chennai Super Kings have confirmed that they have appointed former New Zealand skipper Stephen Fleming as their head coach. Coming back from their banishment, CSK and Rajasthan Royals are already geared up to carry on the momentum from where they left. The dazzling tournament is on course for its 11th edition and with the franchises left with their choice of retainers, promises to be more exciting and electrifying.
"We want to retain the entire support staff, with Fleming as the coach and Hussey as the batting coach," CSK's newly appointed CEO, Kasi Viswanath was quoted as saying by Sportstar.
Chennai Super Kings have been one of the most consistently performing teams in IPL, and under the guidance of fallen legend MS Dhoni, CSK once again will flaunt its yellow brigade as they gear up for IPL 2018.
The mega cricketing event has already hogged the headlines with the Player Retention process and the list of players going under the hammer this season.
January 4 saw the team announcing their choice of retention, where CSK retained their captain since inception MS Dhoni, crucial contributor Suresh Raina and spinner Ravindra Jadeja.
With the aim to restore all the support staff, Super Kings have already appointed former Australian veteran Michael Hussey as their batting coach and Laxmipathy Balaji as the bowling mentor.
However, MS Dhoni has expressed, "But let's not get emotional. Other franchises would also try and get some of the old CSK players."
