FANS HAVE A REQUEST FOR MS DHONI AND STEPHEN FLEMING AS CSK MIGHT MISS OUT ON PLAYOFFS; TWEETS GO VIRAL!
Home > News Shots > SportsAs fans are shocked to see Chennai Super Kings (CSK) witnessing a downfall for the first time in Indian Premier League (IPL), they have started to lose patience.
Since the beginning, CSK has been a below-par one so far for the three-time champions.
Even after ten games in IPL 2020, CSK are at the bottom of the points table and have managed to secure only six points with three victories. On Monday (October 19) CSK succumbed to their seventh defeat against Rajasthan Royals (RR).
During the match, CSK managed to post only 125 runs on the board in 20 overs after Faf du Plessis, Shane Watson and MS Dhoni failed to make an impact, while RR chased down the target with 15 balls to spare.
This loss has dented CSK's chances of qualifying for the playoffs and have also pushed them towards early elimination from the tournament.
Meanwhile, Dhoni's post-match comments on youngsters not having 'spark' have made fans furious on social media.
Ever since the defeat and comment, several fans have come out on Twitter to ask Dhoni and head coach Stephen Fleming to leave CSK after their terrible run.
CSK will lock horns with Mumbai Indians (MI) on Friday before taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) in their final three games of the season.
Fans slammed MS Dhoni and Stephen Fleming after CSK's poor show against RR, check out few tweets below:

MSD's favorite player scored 4 runs from 7 balls in the last two overs. Fantastic. I think maybe this year we are done. Atleast we should try to give some chances to youngsters.

MSD gave everything to the team and emotionally attached. Hence, I don't want to see him an bad exit. He should better quit from CSK and relax with his family. Meanwhile CSK was in the hands of worst management who does business not cricket. A change in management needed badly.

Being a Dhoni fan, watching him play like this really hurts. Until this season, I've been supporting him through his tough times but now I think, he has to step aside for the benefit of the team.
Can't believe CSK won't make the playoffs this time :( #WhistlePodu

Both Fleming n MSD shd take this pathetic performance and gracefully move away and give the youngsters an opportunity to take the yellow army forward. Retain Jaddu, sam curran only. REST ALL can be given a good farewell...Good luck CSK for 2021..A fresh beginning with new hopes..
