Sandeep Sarkar, Kolkata: A long 18 year relationship has ended. On Monday, Chennai Super Kings announced that Stephen Fleming is no longer their coach.

Since then the practice has started with a name. He is Mahendra Singh Dhoni (MS Dhoni). Will he be seen in a new role in CSK?

Will Chennai Super Kings appoint their legendary member, the five IPL trophy captain as coach this time?

Dhoni has not announced his retirement from IPL. However, he did not play a single match in the last IPL for Chennai Super Kings. He was not fit in the early few matches due to injury. Even though he was fit later, he did not play because he thought that the rhythm of the team might be lost. Since then there has been intense speculation, has Dhoni played the last IPL match as a cricketer? Will Dhoni be seen as a cricketer in the next IPL?

Dhoni completed 45 years on July 7. He will be around 46 by the time of the next IPL. The legendary cricketer is now having trouble with the fitness which was once the pride of Dhoni. Most importantly, there is no opportunity for match practice as Dhoni does not play cricket except IPL. In this situation, there is a doubt whether the cricketer Dhoni will be seen again in the next IPL.

Significantly, Stephen Fleming played for Chennai Super Kings before becoming a coach. the first IPLThe very next season he played in the CSK jersey, he was appointed as the coach by then franchise boss Narayanaswamy Srinivasan. From that point of view, it is not strange to see Dhoni as the coach next season, but the prospects look bright. Srinivasan is now away from the cricket field due to ill health and vision problems. But Srini-Kanya Rupa Gurunath is closely associated with CSK. He is now one of the owners of CSK. Very good relationship with Dhoni. It will not be surprising if he also takes the initiative to coach the legendary cricketer.

Inquiring into the Chennai Super Kings camp, it will not be surprising if Dhoni is seen as the coach next season. CSK Chief Executive Officer Kashi Viswanathan has already said that Dhoni will be kept with the team in any role. Dhoni will play as long as he wants.

Will ‘Captain Cool’ start a new innings as ‘Coach Cool’ in his favorite yellow jersey? Chances are strong. Fans are waiting.
