The five-time IPL Champions have already appointed Kieron Pollard as their new head coach and they could also have a new captain in the next season. The IPL franchises have until the middle of November to unveil the list of retained and released players.

Ashwin has now retired from Indian cricket and he now works as a cricket expert. He is also active in overseas leagues and recently played in the inaugural season of the ETPL in Dublin.
