Flemo did a fantastic job with MS Dhoni; that was really such a strong engine room of CSK,\u201d Hayden told Sportstar.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"25\"\/>&#8220;There are names that have been mentioned; one of them was Dinesh Kartik, who I think is probably ready to take on that kind of role. I think it\u2019s important to have a local coach.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>\u201cI know that a lot of franchises do go for international coaches, but I feel like the head coach role of a franchise as big as CSK should have that kind of local touch, even Chennai touch, which is why I thought Dinesh would be perfect,\u201d the Aussie said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"31\"\/>Fleming had been in charge of CSK for close to 16 years and guided the franchise to five IPL titles and two Champions League crowns.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"33\"\/>However, after a couple of disappointing seasons, Fleming stepped down. Hayden described the decision as a bold one while praising the partnership between Fleming and <!-- -->MS Dhoni<!-- -->.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"37\"\/>\u201cYou can certainly have support staff that aren\u2019t local, but what a shift&#8230; [It was] such a beautiful campaign that MS and Flemm had. So much success, equal title holds with Mumbai [Indians], just such a good legacy, but it\u2019s a bold and good move, and I\u2019m looking forward to seeing who gets the job,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/cricket\/news\/ex-australia-star-picks-perfect-coach-for-chennai-super-kings\/articleshow\/133493643.cms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Chennai Super Kings are looking for a new head coach after Stephen Fleming ended his long association with the franchise last month.
