CSK are yet to announce their head coach after snubbing their long aid Stephen Fleming from the position across their franchises. Fleming served the franchise as the head coach for about 18 years. So, to find a proper replacement for the former New Zealand captain, CSK will have to make a crucial call.
Venkata Krishna B, an Indian Express journalist, claimed in his ' X ' post that the franchise could announce the appointment of their new head coach by October.
"Update on CSK: New coach is most likely to be a foreigner. Dhoni to oversee the appointment process. As things stand, an announcement is unlikely before October. And also no trade talks underway for now," the 'X' post of the journalist read.
