CSK head coach made a statement amid rumors of Dhoni’s retirement.
New Delhi. Amid rumors of retirement from Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s IPL, Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming has given a statement. Flaming said that Dhoni is still playing firmly in the IPL. And he 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.
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 these days. You guys only ask about this. The decision to send Dhoni to number nine before this 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 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 performed really 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.
Lokesh Rahul, senior batsman of Delhi Capitals, did not allow Chennai’s left -arm wrist spinner Noor Ahmed to get the rhythm. Delhi’s head coach Hemung Badani said that it played a big role in his team’s victory. He said, “Rahul clearly said that he would not allow Noor to freeze because he felt that Noor felt that Noor is an important bowler for Chennai. He wanted to make sure that the best bowler of the rival team should be made impressive, which would make it difficult for him to return.
