Amid the poor form for the Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2026, they are placed in the last position on the IPL points table with a hat-trick of losses. A significant absentee on the side is veteran wicket-keeper batter, MS Dhoni.
Former Indian opener Sadagoppan Ramesh has made a massive claim, discrediting Stephen Fleming for all the success he has attained with the Chennai Super Kings. The legendary Kiwi captain has been with CSK's head coach since 2009, and MS Dhoni has been the skipper till 2023.
"With the way the game is evolving, just like how a player's fit is analysed, the coach must be given the same treatment. Stephen Fleming doesn't seem to have the mindset to adapt to today's aggressive game. He seems to be five steps behind," he added.
Stephen Fleming has not won a single trophy without MS Dhoni
They won the third title in 2018, when they became the second franchise to have done so after the Mumbai Indians. This was CSK's comeback season, ending a two-year ban from the IPL. The next two trophies came under Dhoni's captaincy back in 2021 and 2023.
Ruturaj Gaikwad should revive his batting form to excel as a captain
CSK are off to a dreadful start in the ongoing IPL 2026, losing the first three matches of their campaign. Sadagoppan Ramesh urged skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad to rediscover his batting form so that he could win matches single-handedly for CSK, thus changing his fortunes as a captain.
