Stephen Fleming (Image Credit: BCCI/IPL) Chennai: The intention of Chennai Super Kings, while chasing in recent home matches of IPL, was at least confused.
In his second game of the season against the Royal Challengers Bengalur at the Ma Chidambarama, CSK, in their 197 pursuit, threw a towel near half of the brand and decided to reduce one eye damage to a clean run (NRR).
The screenplay was no different against the capitals of Delhi on Saturday, when Super Kings almost gave up 184 after he lost Ravindra Jadeja in 11th place.

Once during their 84-run partnership of the sixth goal, Vijay Shankar and Mrs. Dhoni forced a problem; Although Chepauk conditions were not the most difficult to bat, they decided to caress the ball despite the growing NRR and only occasionally went to big hits.
Although it was difficult to understand the shy approach of CSK, Captain Ruturaj Gaikwad and head coach Stephen Fleming was adamant that trying to “take deep” is their only option.

“We played catching up after PowerPlay. We were far behind (the required running rate) and we also had less dough. We had Ravichandran Ashwin on No. 8 and we didn’t have Jamie Overton.
“Vijay Shankar was trying to get the timing all the way through his shifts. It was difficult to follow 12 to 16, it was certainly hard to be out there. The game slipped from us. With the intention and different ways to do it, we missed it,” Fleming said.
The head coach also expressed his concerns about the poor yield of the Supreme Order batter. “If you look at teams that are doing well, most of the runs come from their top four. We need a little more production there. Then it allows energy hitters and those who have completed shifts come to the right places,” Fleming said.

Ruturai and Fleming, both visibly disappointed with the wrong during their team, appreciated the Capitals pitch. “DC was really well bowed at the end, the conditions used well. We just couldn’t get it a big one.”
