Former Chennai Super Kings seamer Mohit Sharma is the latest to join CSK as the new bowling coach ahead of IPL 2027, according to reports. Mohit, who has played four seasons with the franchise, will join newly appointed head coach Zaheer Khan as part of CSK’s backroom staff. Mohit will replace Eric Simmons, who held that role as part of Stephen Fleming’s coaching staff and departed after Fleming parted ways with the IPL giants after 18 years. Indications suggest that Mohit will officially put pen to paper to become the first to join Zaheer in CSK’s new coaching team.&nbsp;"Zaheer is in the process of finalising the support staff. He seems to have zeroed in on Mohit for the bowling coach role. That is my understanding," CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan said in a chat with Cricbuzz.&nbsp;Also read| <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/wpl-2027-mini-auction-check-full-player-retention-lists-slots-available-and-remaining-team-purses-1790649986081">WPL 2027 Mini-Auction: Franchises announce retained and released players; check purse &amp; slot available</a>&nbsp;The right-arm seamer joined CSK in 2013 and played for three seasons before moving to Punjab Kings in 2016.
