'Yaha pratibha avsar paati hai, bhul gaya kya' - Fans slam Stephem Fleming for his 'Here to win trophy, not to develop young players' statement

Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming has been under fire for his statement on playing young players in the team. He said that the team's objective is to win a trophy and not develop young players. However, the motto of the IPL is 'Where Talent meets opportunity'. Meanwhile, it seems that Fleming was trying to defy the motto of the tournament, drawing the ire of the fans.

their downfall will be as high as their peak. all these old players will retire, and acc to few sources there wont be any mega auctions. so they will have to build a whole new team around ruturaj

Stf up mallu 🤡🤡, you ain't a real cricket expert if you're way too biased and supporting a roobish statement of foreign coach that too on "Indian" premier league.

IPL is all about finding young talent and over the years they are able to do that, many players came through IPL.

Looks like only MI is responsible for developing ypung talents for the ICT.

To be honest, this is a selfish and disgusting statement. IPL should be a platform where young players can prove their true potential and prepare for international level cricket.

Then no need to add ur franchise in the Indian franchise league who will not support to produce new n great Indian talent. It's good for you to focus on CSA , New York and Dubai whatever

Chennai Super Kings have had a rough season so far

Meanwhile, talking about the team, they played four games and won only two. They started the tournament with a loss against defending champions, Gujarat Titans. In their second game against Lucknow Super Giants at home, they won by a small margin. After this, the four-time winners continued their winning momentum against arch-rivals Mumbai Indians. In their recent game against Rajasthan Royals, the Yellow brigade lost by three runs, losing their second game against Royals at home after 2008.
