CSK Coach Stephen Fleming Provides Major Update After PBKS Defeat: 5 Players Ruled Out

CSK’s recent defeat was attributed mainly to injuries and the absence of key players. Updates on the status of the CSK bowling unit were provided by Johns @CricCrazyJohns. Mustafizur has left for international duties, Deepak Chahar is dealing with an injury, Tushar Deshpande has the flu, and Pathirana & Theekshana are going back for visa processing but are expected to return for the next game. CSK coach Fleming expressed concern about the players’ conditions, stating that they are waiting for more positive reports, hoping for a smooth visa process for the Sri Lankan players, and acknowledging the challenges of making adjustments due to unexpected changes in the lineup.

Despite being in 4th place in the IPL 2024 points table, with 5 wins in 10 games, the final run of 4 games could prove to be challenging for CSK without the support of some of their star players. Fleming acknowledged the difficulties faced during the recent game and expressed determination to bounce back in the upcoming matches. He emphasized the impact of the missing players, especially in critical phases of the game, and stressed the need to adapt in order to secure victories in the remaining matches. Overall, CSK’s coach recognizes the challenges ahead but remains determined to overcome the obstacles and return to winning ways in the upcoming games.
