Sport news : ‘One man doesn’t win the IPL,’ Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming said on Friday, differing with Gautam Gambhir’s viewpoint that one can’t say Virat Kohli and Mahendra Singh Dhoni in the same breath, as India’s captain has not won the tournament. Former India opener Gambhir, who led Kolkata Knight Riders to two Indian Premier League trophies in 2012 and 2014, recently said that in a result-oriented franchise environment, Kohli has been ‘lucky’ to have survived despite Royal Challengers Bangalore never winning the coveted title in his eight years as skipper. But, Fleming thought otherwise. “One man doesn’t win the IPL. It’s a tough competition to win. It’s getting tougher because teams are a lot smarter. Players are conditioned to playing in the IPL. Coaches and managers are getting more shrewd in how they buy and put together teams,” Fleming said.
