Fleming and CSK recently ended their successful 18-year partnership after a disappointing IPL 2026 season. Under his coaching, CSK won five IPL titles, including the 2023 trophy. But after that, they failed to qualify for the playoffs for three seasons in a row. Amid this, Ravichandran Ashwin names MS Dhoni as next head coach of CSK.
He also pointed out that Laxman has good coaching experience after serving as India's interim head coach on several occasions when Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir were unavailable.
He will be like a big brother to everyone: Sadagoppan Ramesh on VVS Laxman
Sadagoppan Ramesh said in a video on Instagram, "Many names are being mentioned as Fleming's replacement. While options are aplenty, VVS Laxman is the best candidate to take over as CSK's head coach."
The former cricketer further explained, “The CSK management has always looked at the team like a family. Such a wonderful culture will only get enhanced if Laxman becomes the head coach. He also has coaching experience at the highest level, having worked as India's interim head coach several times when Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir were unavailable. And India has achieved fantastic results each time he has taken over as coach.”
VVS Laxman-Sanju Samson combo could transform CSK: Ramesh
After Fleming’s departure, CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad could face the heat after the team's poor performances in the IPL under his captaincy. Given that Ramesh feels Samson could be the ideal option to replace Gaikwad as the Chennai Super Kings captain.
Ramesh signed off by saying, “CSK's trump card in the future is going to be Sanju Samson. If CSK turn to Sanju as their next captain, I believe Sanju and Laxman will have an excellent equation.”
