However, former CSK batter S Badrinath has raised doubts over the new appointments. He feels Mohit is still a newcomer in coaching and believes that the former Indian fast bowler’s strong connection with MS Dhoni could have played a role in his selection as the bowling coach. Amid this, Hardik Pandya’s IPL 2027 trade saga takes new turn as franchise shows fresh interest.
Badrinath said in a video on his YouTube channel: “I feel he is a little bit of a rookie. Only thing about him maybe is his good relationship with Dhoni. I think he is just picked as an assistant with Zaheer already being there. I think as a coach he is a rookie so I don't know.”
Mohit Sharma's IPL and India career
The former Indian pacer finished his IPL career with 120 matches and 134 wickets. Mohit Sharma had a bowling average of 26.21 and an economy rate of 8.77. Mohit also played 26 ODIs and 8 T20Is for India and scalped 31 and 6 wickets, respectively.
Badrinath has great respect for Zaheer Khan as a former fast bowler and feels the legendary left-arm seamer brings huge cricket knowledge to CSK. He also suggested MS Dhoni’s role in Zaheer's appointment as the Chennai Super Kings head coach.
He has a good relationship with Dhoni as well, and the two have worked a lot together. I think the suggestion has been made by Dhoni, and that is a good thing.” Amid this, Ashutosh Sharma leaves Railways, joins Gujarat ahead of the 2026-27 domestic season.
S Badrinath raises doubt over Zaheer Khan’s CSK appointment
Badrinath signed off by saying, “The only issue for me is his track record. It did not work out with Lucknow, and he left. Personally, he will also be looking to prove it. The bowling is very weak, and that is why Dhoni would have suggested Zaheer. But I really cannot say anything right now. He has the ability. CSK also needs a good bowling coach. All this is there. But will it be successful or not? I am not sure.”
The Chennai Super Kings have missed the playoffs for three straight years. Their bowling has also been a major concern. The franchise will now hope that Zaheer and Mohit will help the team return to its winning ways in the IPL 2027.
