CSK appoint Rajiv Kumar as fielding coach

Two-time IPL champions Chennai Super Kings have appointed former Bihar and Jharkhand captain Rajiv Kumar as their fielding coach ahead of the 2018 IPL. Rajiv even captained CSK skipper MS Dhoni at Bihar and Jharkhand before the wicketkeeper-batsman made his debut for the national team.

The 41-year-old will replace Steve Rixon as the Men in Yellow's fielding coach and will join the likes of Stephen Fleming, Lakshmipathy Balaji, Mike Hussey, Lakshmi Narayanan etc. in the CSK dugout during the IPL. He already joined the squad a couple of days ago and was seen executing specialised fielding drills for the players.

Rajiv has a fair amount of coaching experience in the United Kingdom and was the coach of Jharkhand last season. He was also the coach of India Blue in the Deodhar Trophy that took place earlier this year.
