Is Stephen Fleming Useless Without Dhoni? Ramesh Sparks Controversy
CSK struggles in IPL 2026 raise questions about Fleming's coaching prowess.
The heat is on for CSK amid a woeful IPL 2026 start, sitting rock bottom after three straight losses. Former Indian batter Sadagoppan Ramesh has thrown a grenade into the conversation, claiming that Stephen Fleming's success is intrinsically linked to MS Dhoni. Ouch, right?
Ramesh's comments come when the absence of Dhoni is glaringly felt. The legendary wicket-keeper has been the backbone of CSK, and without him, Fleming seems to be floundering. It's a bold claim that questions the coach's tactical nous when the chips are down. Did he rely too much on Dhoni's leadership?
Fleming has been pivotal in CSK's previous successes, but can he adapt and steer the ship when the captain's absent? Fans are left wondering if there's a plan B or if they're just in for a long, painful season. One thing’s for sure: the pressure is building, and the spotlight is firmly on Fleming.
As CSK looks to bounce back, the cricketing world will be watching closely. Can Fleming prove his doubters wrong? Or will he remain five steps behind without Dhoni?
