Chennai Super Kings play in the Indian Premier League, with home matches at M. A. Chidambaram Stadium. Ruturaj Gaikwad captains the side and Zaheer Khan is the head coach. The franchise has won the IPL title 5 times (2010, 2011, 2018, 2021, 2023).
Ravichandran Ashwin believes Mumbai Indians would want CSK youngster Ayush Mhatre included in any deal for Hardik Pandya, while outlining alternative player packages involving Shivam Dube and Nathan Ellis.
Chennai Super Kings are overhauling their support staff under Zaheer Khan, with Mohit Sharma and Gareth Batty linked to new roles. Albie Morkel speculation and player-trade chatter remain separate from confirmed appointments.
Former England off-spinner Gareth Batty is reportedly in line to join Chennai Super Kings’ support staff for IPL 2027, with the Times of India reporting a possible batting-coach role. The franchise has not officially confirmed the appointment.
Kieron Pollard has informed Joburg Super Kings he is unavailable for SA20 2027, after being appointed Mumbai Indians head coach for IPL 2027. JSK will seek a replacement.
MS Dhoni has acknowledged Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s recent consistency compared with Chennai Super Kings, saying reputation on paper matters less than performance on the day. Speaking in Bengaluru, he also called for better fitness and clearer roles as CSK look toward IPL 2027.
MS Dhoni says he will assess his fitness and decide before December whether he can play another IPL season for Chennai Super Kings. The former captain missed the entire 2026 campaign with calf-related issues, leaving his 2027 availability unresolved.
