NEW DELHI: Former England off-spinner Gareth Batty is reportedly set to join Chennai Super Kings' support staff as their batting coach for the upcoming IPL season, according to recent reports. The 49-year-old has a strong connection with CSK head coach Zaheer Khan, who previously played together for Worcestershire. CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan confirmed that discussions with Batty are ongoing, with an announcement expected within the next few days.
Batty, who has represented England in nine Tests, 10 ODIs, and one T20I, is currently the head coach of Surrey in the County Championship. Under his guidance, Surrey achieved three consecutive Championship titles before finishing second last season. Batty's arrival could provide a significant boost to CSK's batting lineup as they seek to improve their IPL performance following a recent dip in success.
