csk head coach stephen fleming on why ms dhoni batting lower order in ipl 2025
Stephen fleming on ms dhoni batting position: MS Dhoni has had to be very trolled due to his batting order recently. He came to bat in the ninth order in the match against RCB, which was said to be the main reason for the defeat of Chennai Super Kings. At the same time, in the match against Rajasthan Royals, Dhoni came to bat on the seventh order, but could not save the team from the defeat of 6 runs. Dhoni was also seen batting at number 7-8 continuously last season. CSK head coach Stephen Fleming has issued a big statement amid criticisms about the batting order.
Dhoni’s body is answering …
Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming spoke on the necklace against Rajasthan Royals during the media. Along with this, he also told that Dhoni’s knees have now started responding and it is not possible for him to bat for 10 overs continuously. This is a main reason for batting on their lower order.
Stephen Fleming said, “MS Dhoni himself decides on his batting order. His body and knees are not as healthy as they used to be. Other batsmen keep giving opportunity. “
Has Dhoni become a burden on CSK
MS Dhoni is 43 years old and plays very few balls at the time of batting. On the question of Dhoni’s CSK team becoming a burden on the CSK team, Fleming said, “I had said this last year, Dhoni’s importance is very high for us. He is a leader and his role is also important from the point of view of wicketkeeping. Sending him to the 9th-10th over, he has hardly done so. So look at it from the perspective of 13-14 overs, Dhoni assesses who is playing?”
