Stephen fleming statement on rumors about ms dhoni retirement from ipl

Chennai: Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming said that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is still playing firmly in the IPL and has not been given the role of ending the journey of this former captain. During the Chennai Super Kings match against Delhi Capitals, the presence of Dhoni’s parents (Paan Singh and Devaki Devi) at the Chepak Stadium on Saturday rejoined the speculation of his retirement.

What did Fleming say on Dhoni’s retirement?

Stephen Fleming said at a press conference after losing the match against Delhi by 25 runs, ‘No, it is not my job to end their journey. I don’t know anything. I am just enjoying working with them. He is still moving firmly. I do not even ask even these days. You guys only ask about this.

The decision to send Dhoni to number nine was strongly criticized, but on Saturday, the legendary cricketer came out to bat at number seven. However, he failed to achieve the rhythm during an unbeaten innings of 30 runs off 26 balls and failed to save the team from the third consecutive defeat.

Fleming told the pitch difficult

Stephen Fleming defended Dhoni, saying that it was really difficult to bat at that time. He said, ‘He showed passion. When he reached the crease, I think the ball was coming to a little. We understood that it would be good in the first half and then gradually it will slow down. ‘

He said, ‘He really performed well in view of the circumstances. Vijay Shankar struggled to achieve timing during his innings. But that round of 12 to 16 overs was difficult for everyone. It was definitely difficult to play there. So despite trying, the match was slipping from our hands.
