After consecutive IPL 2025 defeats, CSK coach Stephen Fleming makes a significant statement about MS Dhoni: “His knees aren’t…can not bat 10 overs.”

According to Stephen Fleming, coach of the Chennai Super Kings, MS Dhoni’s batting position in the lineup is all about time because the renowned wicketkeeper is not as fit as he once was. In the batting order, Dhoni has assumed a slightly more significant position. Dhoni’s entry at No. 9 during the home defeat to RCB drew harsh criticism from both supporters and detractors. Dhoni entered the game at number seven against the Rajasthan Royals, scored 16 runs off of 11 balls, and was removed in the last over as CSK lost by 6 runs.

Fleming stated that Dhoni’s knees are not as good as they once were during the press conference held after the game. The CSK coach stated that the 43-year-old assesses his final contribution to the squad because the wicketkeeper-batter is unable to bat for extended periods.

According to Fleming, Dhoni balances that job by encouraging others to seize opportunities when they present themselves.

Fleming stated that despite Dhoni’s limited batting role, the 43-year-old’s leadership and wicket-keeping skills still make him too valuable for CSK.

On Saturday, April 5, Dhoni will play for CSK at home against the Delhi Capitals.
