There was a stir yesterday that suresh raina will be appointed as the batting coach of the chennai Super Kings team in the 2026 IPL series, that is, next year's IPL series. suresh raina had hinted at this during the commentary. chennai Super Kings' assistant bowling coach Sreedharan sriram was asked if this was true. At that time, he avoided answering it for fear of embarrassment. chennai Super Kings have played very badly in the 2025 IPL series. They finished last in the points table this year. In this situation, the CSK team played their last match against the gujarat Titans yesterday. suresh raina and akash chopra, who were commentating at the time, talked about the appointment of a new coach for the CSK team. Hearing this information from suresh raina, akash chopra asked if the first letter of the new batting coach of the CSK team would start with 'S'. To which suresh raina replied, "He is the one who scored the fastest half-century." That is, suresh raina scored the fastest half-century for the chennai Super Kings team.
 In 2014, he scored a half-century in 16 balls. That is the fastest half-century scored by a batsman for the CSK team. That is what suresh raina was pointing out. After this, akash chopra told the audience, "You are hearing this information here for the first time." With this, there was a stir that suresh raina would be appointed as the batting coach of the chennai Super Kings team. Many people shared information about this on social media. After that, some journalists who met CSK's assistant bowling coach Sreedharan sriram questioned whether suresh raina was right. In response, he said, "I don't know anything about this. I have to ask him if Raina said this." Considering this, it seems that suresh raina is more likely to be appointed as the batting coach of CSK. On the other hand, it is doubtful that dhoni will play in the IPL next year. That is why there is a view that the team management is looking for former player suresh raina to lead the CSK team properly.
