In the post, Chennai Super Kings even said that the team and Stephen Fleming have decided mutually to part ways with each other. Their partnership has been one of the most successful in the IPL history, as Fleming stayed with the team ever since the start of the tournament.
Our Take
Chennai Super Kings was not having a good time in the Indian Premier League. After winning its fifth title in the IPL 2023 edition, the team didn't even make it to the playoffs for a single season. Now with their preparations starting for the 2027 season, the team must have thought to make some changes and try out something new. Due to this reason, they might have parted ways with Stephen Fleming.
