Chennai Super Kings (CSK) have appointed Sriram Sridharan as their assistant bowling coach for IPL 2025. He will be part of the support staff and work alongside head coach Stephen Fleming and bowling coach Eric Simmons.  

Sriram, a former cricketer from Tamil Nadu, played eight One-Day Internationals (ODIs) for India. He scored 81 runs and took nine wickets as a left-arm spinner. After retiring, he moved into coaching, working as a spin-bowling coach and consultant for the Australian team. In the last IPL season, he was an assistant coach for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

"Say Yellow to our new assistant bowling coach, Sriram Sridharan! From growing up near Chepauk to coaching in Australia and Bangladesh, he starts a new journey with pride," CSK shared in a social media post.
