Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have held talks with Mohit Sharma to be their next bowling coach, but nothing has been finalised yet. Zaheer Khan, the new head coach, has the liberty to pick his own staff.

“We are in talks with Mohit as per Zaheer’s wish, (but it’s) not yet finalised,” Kasi Viswanathan, CSK managing director and chief executive officer, told RevSportz. “Zaheer has been told to pick his support staff, as we (have) said earlier. He will take his time and finalise. Once the entire list is finalised, we will have a media release done. As of now, nobody is confirmed. (It) may take a week to finalise.”

CSK have recently appointed Zaheer as their new head coach, and a support-staff overhaul is expected as well. Eric Simons, who was the bowling coach until the 2026 season, is very likely on his way out. Mike Hussey’s future as CSK’s batting coach, too, looks uncertain.

Mohit played for India and CSK under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. The franchise’s talisman is clearly having a say in the appointment of the coaching staff this season.
