NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) are seeking a new head coach following Stephen Fleming’s departure last month. Former Australia opener Matthew Hayden suggests the franchise should consider Dinesh Karthik, a local coach with recent success. Karthik is currently the batting coach and mentor for Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who won back-to-back IPL titles with him. Hayden, who played for CSK between 2008 and 2011, advocates for a local coach, citing Karthik’s readiness and Tamil Nadu connection. Fleming, who led CSK for nearly 16 years, guided the franchise to five IPL titles and two Champions League crowns. Hayden praised Fleming’s partnership with MS Dhoni but noted CSK’s bold decision to seek a new coach, emphasizing the importance of a local touch for the franchise’s legacy.
