Former South Africa captain Kepler Wessels coached Chennai Super Kings to the final in the inaugural season, where they came second best to Rajasthan Royals.
But once his one-year tenure was over, he was surprisingly not given an extension and, bluntly put, sacked.
Instead, in a surprising move, Chennai named Stephen Fleming as coach in last November.

The former New Zealand captain had a disappointing campaign as a player in season one, scoring just 196 runs from 10 games at a strike-rate of 118.78, even failing to score a fifty.
Moreover, he was unavailable for the semi-final and final after heading back home for the birth of his child.
Chennai's start in the second edition, under Fleming, has been indifferent. And their most expensive buy, Andrew Flintoff ($ 1.3 million), failed miserably before pulling out with an injury.
Fleming, without any prior coaching experience, has admitted he is learning with every passing game but could lose his job if his team doesn't get back to their winning habit soon.
