IPL 2025: Full List of Coaches and Support Staff for All 10 IPL Franchises – CSK, MI, RCB, KKR, SRH, RR, PBKS, GT, LSG, and DC
Apart from building a great team for the tournament, every IPL franchise puts its maximum effort in building a strong support staff unit. Like every other cricket tournament, IPL teams also have different coaches and support staff for all categories. Every participating team will appoint support staff and a few coaches for the tournament and can change the coach if they are not satisfied with the result.
The coach will be responsible for the team’s training plan, coordination, leading the team to victory, preparing the game plan and motivating the team in failures. The BCCI plans to hold a mega auction for the IPL 2025 season. Like every IPL auction, the team management has to submit their list of retained and released players before the deadline. The IPL 2025 mega auction is rumoured to take place in December this year, but the date is yet to be officially revealed.
As per the IPL 2025 schedule, defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders will play the first match of the season (considering the statistics of previous tournaments). Apart from building the best team and appointing a suitable captain, every team needs to appoint a head coach, who plays a vital role in team coordination and formulating the right game plan depending on the conditions.
Apart from the head coach, every team will have some support staff including a batting coach, bowling coach, fielding coach, and many other staff members.
