Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming do acknowledge that CSK is an ageing team and they need to have to look at recreating the side, just like other teams have created a new pool of talent.
CSK squad with an average of 34 for the core team, has proved that age is just a number by winning the IPL last year and finishing runners-up to Mumbai Indians on Sunday night.
Both Fleming and Dhoni pointed out they could have done a lot more in the batting department.
"We will give some time for dust to settle down. I think if you win one title and reach the final next time, you have had good two years. We do understand that we are an ageing team. So at some point, we just have to look at recreating the side, obviously MS as well, said Fleming following the one-run loss to Mumbai.
Fleming said that the planning for next season will start after Dhoni is back from the World Cup.
"He (Dhoni) will be travelling to the World Cup. A lot of talent has been established in other teams. You need to do it carefully and get the balance right, when you try to go for players who you think can deliver for us."
