CSK Head Coach 2023: Who is Chennai Super Kings’ Coach for Batting and Bowling?

Chennai Super Kings is the second most successful franchise in the history of the Indian Premier League. Former India captain MS Dhoni is certainly the face of the side, but apart from the players, the coaching staff has also played a vital part in the team’s success.

The Super Kings have been one of those sides who have tried to rope in some of their former players in the coaching staff, who know the culture of the side. With four trophies under their belt, the results are there in front of everyone.

The popularity of the team can be judged by the fact that they have the most number of followers on social media handles amongst the IPL franchises.

Former New Zealand captain Stephen Fleming is the head coach of CSK. Fleming used to play for Super Kings in the 2008 season, and he became the head coach of the side the following year. Since then, he has been with the side in every season till now.
