However, Fleming said the timing of the CSK captaincy resignation was left to Dhoni. “We talked about it. It’s something MS talked to me about last season. The timing was his decision,” Fleming said at the virtual press conference after the match after CSK lost by six wickets in the IPL to Kolkata Knight Riders. lung opener.
After 12 seasons, four title wins and five second-place finishes, the iconic Dhoni decided on Thursday to hand over the CSK captaincy to his trusted lieutenant, Ravindra Jadeja.
