New Delhi. One of the most successful teams in the Indian Premier League, Chennai Super Kings are the current champions. The team has played all the tournaments so far under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. It has been more than 2 years since he retired from international cricket. Every time with the end of IPL, the talk of saying goodbye to this format gathers pace. Chennai coach Stephen Fleming spoke about this on the player auction for the upcoming season.
Five-time champions Chennai Super Kings bought three key players in the form of New Zealander Rachin Ravindra, Daryl Mitchell and all-rounder Shardul Thakur in Tuesday’s auction. SuperKings head coach Stephen Fleming said, “It’s not just who you buy but the plan you put behind it. Mitchell is obviously an important player. Of course he was nervous. I’m glad everything went well for us. remained
Super Kings bought Mitchell for 14 crore rupees.
“Daryl is a different type of player but his performances over the last 18 to 24 months have earned him that kind of price,” Fleming said. He is competitive with the ability to play spin and is also a useful bowler. We can cast him in this role in Chepauk. Its performance fits our plans and is a good buy for us.
However, Fleming was tight-lipped when asked about the succession plans of veteran Mahendra Singh Dhoni. He said, “We had plans for Dhoni’s succession for almost 10 years. He’s going to be a hot topic, but he’s as busy and enthusiastic as I’ve seen him in a while.
