In a major development, five-time IPL (Indian Premier League) champions Chennai Super Kings came forward and announced the departure of their long-time head coach, Stephen Fleming, from the side. It is worth noting that the two parties decided to mutually part ways after 18 years of association.ย
Notably, after joining CSK in the inaugural season of the IPL in 2008, Fleming joined the sideโs coaching staff in 2009 and has been their head coach ever since. Under his coaching, the side witnessed heaps of success, winning five IPL titles, making the playoffs 12 times, and reaching 10 IPL finals as well. He also led the side to two Champions League T20 titles as well.ย
The sideโs last title came back in 2023, and since then, they have been unable to replicate their performances. They finished fifth in 2024, ended up at the bottom in 2025, and finished eighth in 2026, which ultimately saw Flemingโs time as head coach come to an end after mutual and open-ended discussion from both parties.ย
