CSK Coach Reveals They Could Lose MS Dhoni
Fleming asked not to undervalue Dhoni’s impact just because the player is batting at No. 9. According to Fleming, Dhoni is batting in the lower order to reduce the risk of him getting injured.
“We are in charge of his workload. We’ve seen early in the season that it’s risky and that if he bats too long, we could lose him due to a little muscle issue. Therefore, don’t undervalue his impact on the squad merely because he is batted ninth.”
“There’s the time component, but we’re very cautious about what he can offer, so we won’t push it to the point where we risk losing him. Thus, it’s a sensitive balance,” Fleming added.
About MS Dhoni’s Unparallel Presence Behind the Stumps
MS Dhoni is one of the greatest captains in cricket history. The Ranchi man’s calm nature and the ability to make quick and effective decisions are tough to compete with. Though MS stepped down from the captaincy during the onset of the tournament to give the Sengol to his colleague Ruturaj Gaikwad, his presence in the CSK squad gives a lot of confidence and learning lessons to the youngster. Fleming also discussed the advantage Dhoni provides behind the stumps.
“One of our current challenges is that, while we have a capable backup keeper, he is not the same as MS Dhoni. We want to keep MS Dhoni on the field doing what he does best—hitting in the final two, three, or four overs. His keeping and his ability to provide tactical guidance to the new captain are extremely important,” he added.
