CSK has already taken over a major haul in their coaching set-up. In a major change, the franchise has appointed Zaheer Khan as their new head coach, replacing Stephen Fleming. As the franchise finished eighth in the points table in IPL 2026, multiple changes are expected in their set of players as well.
Australia's Matthew Short was the first to be mentioned by the former cricketer in his YouTube video. From Badrinath's point of view, Short is not even close to being called a T20 batter. Although, his batting stats in the format says different. In 175 matches, Matthew Short has scored 4556 runs at an average of 29.58 and a strike rate of 145.28, supported by three hundreds and 29 fifties.
On the other side, Rahul Chahar, who joined the team for a price tag over INR 5 crore, featured only in one match in the previous IPL season and returned without taking a single wicket, leaking 46 runs in 4 overs.
S Badrinath mentions 3 players who must be released
"Matthew Short is a sure-shot release. He does not look like a T20 cricketer to me. Rahul Chahar is another name. At 5.2 crores, they did not even play him. He should be released. I would look to release Prashant Veer. You have both Karthik and Prashant at 15 crores each," the former cricketer opined.
Players who should be retained according to S Badrinath
In the next part of the video, Badrinath named a few players who should be retained. He suggested his former team retain Zak Foulkes, Shreyas Gopal, Spencer Johnson, and Matt Henry.
