As far as the coaching staff is concerned – Fleming will be joined by the likes of Eric Simmons and Albie Morkel as his assistants. Gregory King has been named the strength and conditioning coach of the side while Lakshmi Narayanan joins the franchise as High-Performance Analyst and Tommy Simsek will be the team’s physiotherapist.

Russell Radhakrishnan, who has been managing the Chennai Super Kings for years, will now also take charge as the TKS team manager.
