Seeing the top order batsmen scoring runs, Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming breathed a sigh of relief but after four consecutive defeats, they feel that this session of IPL is disappointing for the team. Chennai missed 18 runs in response to the target of 220 runs from Punjab Kings. Fleming told the media after the match that the session has been disappointing so far. However, during this time Stephen Fleming praised Priyansh Arya. The CSK head coach also counted several flaws on his team’s performance. Fleming said that the catching was poor, but it was bad for both teams. There was some problem with the light or what, not knowing but fielding is a matter of concern.
Help order is a matter of relief from top order
Chennai Super Kings have so far dripped 11 catches in five matches and left three catches against Punjab Kings. For Chennai, openers Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra shared a 69 -run partnership. After this, Conway and Shivam Dubey added 89 runs for the third wicket. Fleming said that the positive thing is that we batted better. The top order helped which had not yet been found. He said that in the middle overs, we could not maintain the runrate, which finally increased the pressure. But before that we have been out of the match soon, in view of which, pulling the match till the end is a positive aspect. We lost the match in fielding.
Shashank also praised Priyansh
Fleming praised Priyansh Arya of Punjab Kings, who scored 103 off 42 balls despite falling wickets from the other end. He said that it was his day. He played brilliantly with the first ball. It is a matter of great courage that after being dismissed on the first ball, you come and play such innings like this. Shashank Singh, who scored 52 runs in 36 balls for Punjab, supported the state level T20 events and said that players like Priyansh Arya, Digvesh Rathi (Lucknow Super Giant) have come out from such a league. He said that in this type of league, there is experience of playing with Kukabura ball in milky lights and facing pressure.
