CSK Coach Stephen Fleming Delivers Important Update After PBKS Defeat

The recent defeat of CSK can be attributed to the absence of key players due to injuries and other reasons. According to updates from Johns (@CricCrazyJohns), Mustafizur has left for international duties, Deepak Chahar is dealing with an injury, Tushar Deshpande has the flu, and Pathirana & Theekshana are heading back for a visa process, with hopes of returning for the next game. CSK coach Fleming expressed concern about the team’s situation, mentioning that Chahar’s injury doesn’t look promising, and the Sri Lankan players are in the process of obtaining visas. He also mentioned the impact of Deshpande’s flu on the team’s dynamics, stating that they’ve had to make unusual changes and adjustments due to these circumstances.

Despite being placed 4th in the IPL 2024 points table with 5 wins in 10 games, the coach acknowledged that the final run of 4 games could pose challenges without the support of their star players. Fleming further discussed the difficulty faced during the recent game due to player absences and emphasized the team’s commitment to bounce back in the remaining matches. With a focus on returning to winning ways, he acknowledged the challenges faced and expressed determination to overcome them in the upcoming games.
