CSK overhaul: Stephen Fleming departs after poor IPL season

Stephen Fleming ended his 18-year association with Chennai Super Kings on July 13, 2026.

CSK finished eighth in the 2026 IPL with six wins from 14 matches, missing playoffs for the third straight season.

Bowling coach Eric Simons is reportedly the next likely casualty in a broader coaching staff shake-up.

The report suggests Texas Super Kings' last-place finish in Major League Cricket 2026 influenced Fleming's exit.

CSK CEO Kasi Viswanathan said the split was mutual after a board meeting, despite backing Fleming publicly last month.
