Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming has responded to the criticism the team has been facing in the ongoing IPL 2026 season. CSK, currently at the bottom of the points table, has been struggling to adapt to the season with new signings and the absence of MS Dhoni due to injury. Their batting approach has not been effective, with new signing Sanju Samson struggling to find form. Sarfaraz Khan has been their top run-scorer, while Anshul Kamboj leads the bowling department. Fleming acknowledged the challenges faced by the team, mentioning the need for confidence and improvement to turn things around.
Critics have questioned Fleming’s tactics, but he defended his approach, stating that he is constantly learning and staying updated with the game through his involvement in other competitions. He admitted that CSK needs to adjust their game plan due to the changing conditions of the Chepauk pitch. Despite the criticism, Fleming remains committed to finding a way forward and believes in the team’s ability to improve.
