Ashwin says Eoin Morgan is frontrunner for Chennai Super Kings coaching role

Ravichandran Ashwin says Eoin Morgan's name keeps coming up whenever Chennai Super Kings talk about their next head coach. The franchise cut ties with Stephen Fleming after another poor season, and early conversations about a replacement have already started. Ashwin told his YouTube channel the timing is still undecided — Morgan might not take over until after the mega auction next year.

Morgan has never coached a franchise or international side since retiring in 2023. Ashwin thinks MS Dhoni will be the steady hand during whatever transition comes next. He figures Dhoni's presence could keep the dressing room stable while the new setup finds its feet.
