Stephen Fleming: CSK coach gives firm response when asked about change in batting order

CSK might have failed in their run-chase against RR but head coach Stephen Fleming said they didn’t feel the need to change the batting order as they “don’t mess with things that are going well”. When Asked if CSK could have sent some of their big-hitters up the order, CSK coach said.

Stephen Fleming said –

“The set roles are very important. (Ajinkya) Rahane has been great for us at No. 3. We don’t mess with things that are going well. It was just today we came up against a team that took the pace off the ball. We couldn’t get any real momentum in the first six overs.”

Fleming added – “Devon Conway, who is in outstanding form, couldn’t get underway. The rhythm of the innings was slow. When we tried to catch the game up, we made mistakes.” Fleming admitted they lost the match in the powerplays, saying the opposition was “outstanding” with both the bat and ball in the first six overs.

Stephen Fleming said at the press-conference –

“The first six overs, they were outstanding with the bat and the ball as well. That just set the two innings up for them. We could have been better, but part of that is playing away from home — trying to find out the right length to bowl, what sort of swing conditions we are going to get. That’s part of the challenge of playing away.”
