New Delhi, 12 September 2026: Who will be the next head coach of Chennai Super Kings? This question is still unanswered. After serving as the coach of the team from 2009 to 2026, Stephen Fleming left CSK after IPL 2026. However, the question of who will take over as the next head coach still remains. The answer to this is gradually becoming clear; Hemang Badani, former batsman of Team India and coach of Delhi Capitals, is being seen as a possible candidate.
According to 'Indian Express' report, M.S. Dhoni wants the next head coach of Chennai to be an Indian. CSK CEO and Managing Director Kashi Vishwanath had said that after Fleming's departure, the franchise has handed over the responsibility of finding a new coach to Dhoni.
Badani has significant coaching experience; Apart from IPL, he has also coached in foreign leagues. The teams under his guidance have won titles in SA20, ILT20 and LPL. Given this, he can be an ideal choice for the team. However, no official announcement has been made from Chennai in this regard till now.
Delhi head coach in 2024
Hemange took charge as the head coach of Delhi in 2024 and remained associated with the team till 2026. However, the team failed to win any title under his coaching. His record in IPL seems very weak. It will be interesting to see what final decision Chennai takes regarding its next head coach.
