Meanwhile, MS Dhoni has been discussed a lot, despite CSK being in trouble, the order is not batting much. Chennai Super Kings Coach Stephen Fleming He revealed that he could not run ten overs completely as his knee remains doddy and the former captain has decided on his batting position based on the position of the match.
Dhoni, 43, faced criticism for batting at number 9 at number 9 during CSK’s 50 -run loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore in Chepuk last week.
On Sunday, CSK Talisanman went out at number 7 with the team’s need to score 54 off 25 balls, but Rajasthan Royals suffered a loss of six runs, as they could get only 16 runs off 11 balls.
“It’s at one time. Ms. judges it. Her body, she was not on her knees.
“If the game is in equilibrium like today, it will go a little earlier and he supports other players when other opportunities are met. So he is balanced it. I said last year, he is very valuable for us, with (his) leadership and wickets, to throw him in 9- 10 overs.
“He has never done this really this. So look, from about 13, 14 overs he wants to go, which depends on who is.” Compared to CSK’s 42–1, RR raked 79 for 1 in Powerplay and Fleming admitted that they lost the match at Powerplay.
“If you analyze the game it is probably two power plays. Our power play with the ball went for the best part of 80 runs and we were only able to manage in the early 40s,” he said.
“So this is a big difference on the scoreboard and we were also dirty in the field compared to Rajasthan which were outstanding. So it would be two immediate takeaways.” While reflecting the major moments, Fleming said: “I think (Ryan) Parag’s grip was a twist in the match. Dube match-up was going on our way but he ((Vanindu Hasranga) Was courage. You cannot deny this and he definitely gave a wind to the ball.
“Sometimes you give air to the ball and in this competition you can go to the distance, but he dared to do so and Gaikwad’s wicket was also very clever. So he held his nerve and had a good day.”
