It does have an impact on your team and captaincy: Coach Fleming on Dhoni’s fitness concerns

Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming on Saturday said Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s absence had an impact on the team and captaincy in their previous outing.

“Whenever a great player who is in great form is not in your side, it does have an impact on your team as well as captaincy,” the former New Zealand captain said.

“You have to make adjustments. But it does not mean that we are not competitive. We still turned out a very good side in the last game and still got well beaten,” Fleming said, on the eve of their Indian Premier League match against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Sunday.
