'''Stephen Paul Fleming''' {{post-nominals|country=NZL|ONZM}} (born 1 April 1973) is a New Zealand cricket coach and former captain of the [[New Zealand national cricket team]], who is the current head coach of [[Indian Premier League]] team [[Chennai Super Kings]]. He is considered one of the greatest batsmen for the New Zealand national cricket team.

Known for his astute tactical abilities, he is New Zealand's second-most capped [[Test cricket]]er with 111 appearances. He is also the team's longest-serving and most successful captain,<ref>{{cite news| url=http://sporteology.com/top-10-successful-cricket-captains-time |title=Top 10 Most Successful Cricket Captains of All Time | date=27 December 2013}}</ref><ref name=retire/> having led the side to 28 victories and having won Test series against [[India national cricket team|India]], [[England national cricket team|England]], [[West Indies national cricket team|West Indies]], [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]], [[Bangladesh national cricket team|Bangladesh]] and [[Zimbabwe national cricket team|Zimbabwe]].

He is the winning captain of the [[2000 ICC KnockOut Trophy]], which is New Zealand's only ICC trophy till date in the ODI format and in limited overs cricket.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/93205.html |title=Magnificent Cairns steers New Zealand to great triumph |work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=11 March 2017}}</ref> Fleming captained New Zealand in the historic first [[Twenty20 International]] of the world, which was played against Australia in 2005.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/content/story/144628.html |title=Ponting leads as Kasprowicz follows |work=ESPNcricinfo|access-date=11 March 2017}}</ref>

He retired from international cricket on 26 March 2008. Fleming played in the [[2008 Indian Premier League]] for the [[Chennai Super Kings]] after being signed for US$350,000 and became the team's coach from 2009.<ref>[http://content-eap.cricinfo.com/ipl/content/story/339192.html Article regarding New Zealand Cricketers in the IPL auction] [[Cricinfo]], retrieved 25 March 2008</ref> In February 2015 he was signed as coach of the [[Melbourne Stars]] of the [[Big Bash League]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.3news.co.nz/sport/stephen-fleming-named-melbourne-stars-coach-2015022511 |title=Stephen Fleming named Melbourne Stars coach |website=[[3 News]] |date=25 February 2015 |access-date=12 March 2015}}</ref> On 19 January 2018 he resumed his duties as head coach of the [[Chennai Super Kings]] in [[2018 Indian Premier League]] season again, after the team was barred from playing in the tournament for two seasons.

==Personal life==
Fleming is the son of Pauline Fleming and Gary Kirk. Pauline raised him as a single mother, and he did not meet his father until he was 16, although Kirk had always maintained a keen interest in his son's progress. Both Kirk and Fleming played senior rugby and captained Cashmere High's first XV.<ref>''The Age'', 7 November 2004. [http://www.theage.com.au/news/Cricket/Flemings-father-comes-out-of-the-shadows/2004/11/06/1099547435353.html "Fleming's father comes out of the shadows"]. Retrieved 11 May 2016</ref>

On 9 May 2007, Fleming married his long-term partner Kelly Payne in a ceremony held in [[Wellington]]. The couple had a daughter, born in 2006, and a son, in 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10439430|title=Fleming goes all out to wed in secret|first=Nicola|last=Shepheard|date=12 May 2007|via=nzherald.co.nz}}</ref> He had to return to New Zealand just before the semifinals of the [[Indian Premier League|IPL]] tournament for the birth of his second child.

Fleming was appointed an [[Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit]], for services to cricket, in the [[2011 Birthday Honours (New Zealand)|2011 Queen's Birthday Honours]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.dpmc.govt.nz/publications/queens-birthday-honours-list-2011 |title=Queen's Birthday honours list 2011 |date=6 June 2011 |publisher=Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet |access-date=10 May 2020}}</ref>

==Domestic career==
Fleming has played county cricket in England for [[Middlesex County Cricket Club|Middlesex]], [[Yorkshire County Cricket Club|Yorkshire]] and [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club|Nottinghamshire]]. He captained Nottinghamshire to [[County Championship]] victory [[2005 County Championship|in 2005]], their first Championship title in 18 years.

There was speculation in 2007 that he might join the controversial Indian [[Twenty20]] league, the [[Indian Cricket League]]. {{Citation needed|date=December 2013}} However it turned out to be unfounded and he later joined the 'official' Indian Twenty20 league, the [[Indian Premier League]], and played for the [[Chennai Super Kings]] in the league's initial incarnation.

==International career==
A left-handed [[batsman]], Fleming made his Test debut in March 1994 against [[Indian national cricket team|India]] winning the Man of the Match award on debut after scoring 92. In 1995 he survived controversy when he was caught and admitted to smoking [[marijuana]] with teammates [[Matthew Hart]] and [[Dion Nash]] while on tour at their hotel.<ref>{{cite news | title = Fleming caught out for a smoke | date = 6 November 2004 | url = http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=3607554 | work = The New Zealand Herald | access-date = 2010-06-25}}</ref> In England's tour of New Zealand in 1996–97 he scored his maiden Test century in the First Test at [[Auckland]]. In the Third Test of the tour he took over the captaincy from [[Lee Germon]] becoming New Zealand's youngest captain at 23 years and 321 days.

===Captaincy===
He was particularly noted for his captaincy, having been praised from the likes of [[Shane Warne]] as the "best captain in world cricket"<ref>{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/2310545/Spotlight-on-Stephen-Fleming-Boss-approved.html | location=London | work=The Daily Telegraph | first=Steve | last=James | title=Spotlight on Stephen Fleming: Boss approved | date=8 April 2007}}</ref> and most recently, [[Graeme Swann]] who said that Fleming is one of the two true leaders that he's ever seen, alongside [[Andrew Strauss]].

Fleming became New Zealand's most successful captain in September 2000 with a victory over [[Zimbabwe]]. This was the 12th win under his captaincy overtaking [[Geoff Howarth]]. Fleming was regarded by some as an underperformer with the bat, with one of the worst 50 to 100 conversion ratios in world cricket. However, since the 2003 tour of Sri Lanka, Fleming started to gain form, with 274 not out against Sri Lanka – when he declared rather than staying to reach 300 which would have been a record in New Zealand cricket history.

Arguably Fleming's best ODI innings was his unbeaten 134 to help New Zealand beat hosts [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] in the [[2003 Cricket World Cup]]. Chasing a rain adjusted target of 229 off 39 overs, Fleming hit 134 off just 132 deliveries as New Zealand cruised to a 9-wicket victory over a team they had struggled against in the past.

[[File:Stephen Fleming captain.jpg|thumb|left|Fleming adjusting the field at [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club|Nottinghamshire]]. Fleming was regarded as one of the world's best cricket captains.]]

In the second Test between New Zealand and [[South Africa national cricket team|South Africa]] at [[Newlands Cricket Ground|Newlands]], [[Cape Town]] in April 2006, Fleming scored his 3rd Test double-century and became the first New Zealander to achieve this feat. Fleming scored 262 as he and [[Wellington Firebirds|Wellington]] teammate [[James Franklin (cricketer)|James Franklin]] put 256 runs for the 8th wicket, the highest partnership to date in Tests between New Zealand and South Africa. It is also a New Zealand record for the 8th wicket against any country.

On 25 October 2006, Fleming captained his country for the 194th time in an ODI – a world record, overtaking [[Arjuna Ranatunga]]. He played well throughout the [[2007 Cricket World Cup|2007 World Cup]] scoring 353 runs at an average of 39.22 and was New Zealand's second highest run scorer in the tournament. He failed in the semi-final against Sri Lanka scoring just 1 off 4 balls as New Zealand went on to lose the match and crashed out of the tournament. On 24 April 2007, Fleming resigned as the ODI captain of the Blackcaps. The announcement was made in a post-match press conference held after the Semi-Final defeat to [[Sri Lanka national cricket team|Sri Lanka]] in the [[2007 Cricket World Cup]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/newzealand/content/story/292255.html|title=Fleming resigns as ODI captain|date=24 April 2007|website=Cricinfo}}</ref> After Fleming's last match as captain, [[Mahela Jayawardene]] added a tribute. "Stephen's been a great leader for New Zealand for some time, and you could learn a lot from him". Over a decade of leading the side he finished with 218 games, 98 wins, 106 losses.

As of April 2007, Fleming had captained New Zealand in 80 Test matches—a New Zealand record and the second highest number worldwide

===Post-captaincy===
In September 2007, Fleming was replaced by [[Daniel Vettori]] as the New Zealand Test captain. He also left English county [[Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club|Nottinghamshire]] after three years as captain. In February 2008 Fleming ended speculation and confirmed his retirement from the New Zealand team at the end of [[England cricket team|England]]'s [[English cricket team in New Zealand in 2007–08|2008 tour of New Zealand]] to spend more time with his family, and to play for the [[Indian Premier League]].<ref name=retire>{{cite news |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/other_international/new_zealand/7244189.stm |title=Fleming to end New Zealand career |date=14 February 2008 |publisher=[[BBC Sport]] |access-date=13 November 2011}}</ref>

He played well in his final series, scoring 297 in six innings. In the first innings of the second test against England, he scored his 7000th run in his 110th match. In his final test at, [[McLean Park|Napier]], he scored half-centuries in both innings to ensure that he finished with a Test match average of over 40 (40.06).

==Playing style==
Fleming was an elegant left handed [[batsman]] and played shots such as the flick off the pads, straight drive, cover drive and cut shots. He was also a clever [[Captain (cricket)|captain]] and his field placings for many batsmen like [[Damien Martyn]] at point and aggressive captaincy made the opposition struggle for their runs. He was also a prolific slip catcher and fielded well in close-in positions.

==After cricket==
===Coaching===
Fleming played for [[Chennai Super Kings]] in the [[2008 Indian Premier League]]. He was appointed as the team's head coach in 2009 and retired as a player. The side won the IPL in 2010 as well as the [[Champions League Twenty20]] and went on to win the IPL again the following season. He coached Chennai for six seasons before the side was suspended from the IPL for two years. In 2016 he became the coach of [[Rising Pune Supergiants]].{{citation needed|date=October 2022}}

In 2018 Fleming returned as coach of Chennai after the team's suspension ended. The team won the IPL during 2018 and repeated the success in 2021.{{citation needed|date=October 2022}}

===Business interests===
Fleming has since been involved in setting up [[CricHQ]] with the company's CEO Simon Baker and former New Zealand cricket captain [[Brendon McCullum]]. Fleming is one of 160 investors and a director in the company. In June 2015 the company raised US$10m from Singapore private equity firm Tembusu Partners to expand globally.<ref name=Hutching>{{cite news|author=Hutching, Gerard|date=16 June 2015|title=Singaporean firm invests US$10m in New Zealand cricket tech company|url=http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/69450909/singaporean-firm-invests-us10m-in-new-zealand-cricket-tech-company|work=Stuff|access-date=4 July 2016}}</ref>
