MS Dhoni discusses CSK head coach role with Brendon McCullum

MS Dhoni reportedly held talks with former England Test coach Brendon McCullum regarding the vacant head coach position for the Chennai Super Kings in England. This conversation follows Stephen Fleming's departure from the role after CSK's disappointing IPL 2026 campaign. Dhoni, who has been associated with the franchise since 2008 and was part of the team management, appears to be transitioning into a management role rather than continuing as a player. There is speculation on whether McCullum could effectively take over the coaching duties, especially given his storied history as an IPL player and recent coaching experiences.
