Chennai Super Kings, the most successful team in IPL history, started with a win in the 18th season of IPL. But the team could not continue this winning chariot and had to face defeat by 50 runs against RCB in the second match. After 2008, now RCB defeated CSK on his home ground. In this season, while other teams start a bang from the beginning, CSK is running on the old Dhare and this team is believing in gaining momentum later.
Chennai’s strategy proved to be effective by chasing a target of 156 runs against Mumbai Indians, but RCB scored 196 runs and then the team failed to maintain the run rate. Chennai lost the start wickets against RCB quickly and due to this, they came on the backfoot. Surruti wickets against CSK quickly lost and due to this, they came on the backfoot. After CSK’s defeat, the playming question was asked why they are following the old strategy. Fleming was asked that in the first match you chased 156 runs in 20 overs, but you scored 146 runs against RCB. I know this is your way of playing cricket, but do you think it is old.
Answering this question, Fleming said what do you mean by my way of playing. He said that if he did not swing with the first ball, then his method would not become old. If we talk about firepower, we have firepower in every way. I do not understand this question. Just because we do not swing with the first ball and luck is in our favor, just see who wins and do not consider us less, after that the reporter said that I am not underestimating you, but you are doing it to some extent. After this, Fleming said that foolish questions.
Fleming said that for the last few years we have not been able to read Chepak’s Peach, so this is not new. We try to deal with what we get. This is no longer an old ground that you can just play with four spinners. We have to work hard to understand what will be the mood of the pitch in every match. We are not getting any benefit of domestic pitch. We have won outside the house. We could not read the pitch even in the match against RCB.
