Possible Successors

If CSK ever need a new head coach, here are three strong options who fit the franchise’s culture and philosophy.

3. Mike Hussey

Already part of CSK as batting coach, Hussey offers continuity, tactical input, and a smooth transition if CSK prefer stability.

2. Dwayne Bravo

A CSK insider with deep IPL experience, Bravo brings modern T20 thinking, leadership skills, and strong player bonding to the role.

1. Gary Kirsten

A proven international coach who led India to the 2011 World Cup, known for calm leadership, strong planning, and managing big players well.
