It is common for teams to change things after the first season of a new cycle. Nowadays, franchises look for instant results, and if there has been a poor outing, backing he stakeholders does not happen too often. Here, we take a look at the list of three Head Coaches who could get sacked before IPL 2026.
1) Justin Langer
Ever since Justin Langer has joined LSG, the team has not reached the playoffs. There is a lack of a pattern within the side, and hence, LSG could go for alternate options in the market. For Justin, getting more experience as a franchise T20 coach will be helpful.
2) Chandrakant Pandit is one of the Head Coaches who could get sacked before IPL 2026
The Madhya Pradesh Head Coach has won the IPL, but his contributions are not too obvious. As a domestic veteran coach, he must have scouted more domestic talent to KKR or got the best out of their domestic players. That has not happened. KKR might want a foreign coach now.
3) Hemang Badani
Hemang did well in the first half of IPL 2025. Although he had all the resources, some of his decisions were not great. Eventually, DC did not reach the playoffs. There is a possibility that the management might want someone high-profile for this job.
