'Eoin Morgan might be coming': Ashwin reveals big name in CSK coach race
Chennai Super Kings may appoint Eoin Morgan as their new head coach. Ravichandran Ashwin believes Morgan is a strong contender for the vacant role. The franchise is seeking a new approach after recent underwhelming seasons. MS Dhoni's leadership is expected to remain central during this transition period. The team prepares for a new chapter following Stephen Fleming's exit.
Chennai Super Kings may opt for a new coach after parting ways with Stephen Fleming, according to India's veteran all-rounder Ravichandran Ashwin. The five-time IPL winners, currently the most successful franchise in the tournament's history, have recently faced underwhelming seasons. Ashwin revealed that Morgan's name is prominently being discussed as a potential successor to Fleming, but he is uncertain if Morgan would take charge immediately or join the team later on.
Morgan, who has never been a head coach in either international or franchise cricket, has gained a reputation for his astute white-ball thinking, having played a key role in England's rise as a dominant limited-overs side. Ashwin also believes that Mahendra Singh Dhoni could play a crucial role in CSK's transition, providing stability and direction as the franchise searches for a new coach.
With the next mega auction approaching in a year, Ashwin suggests that Dhoni's leadership could be particularly significant during this transition period.
