We knew the conditions of Pune. We had to change the way we had to play the game,&quot; the former New Zealand skipper added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Significantly, just a single match was possible in Chennai before BCCI shifted the remaining home games of the three-time IPL champions citing security concerns.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We knew the conditions in Chennai. The experience enabled us to do that. It was a big change but we had to get on with it,&quot; Fleming explained.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chennai rode on all-rounder Shane Watson&#39;s scintillating 117-run unbeaten knock to hunt down the 179-run target against a team which boasted of the best bowling attack in the league.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Praising Watson, Fleming said: &quot;We loved what Watson had done in the past and our discussion was of his future. We wanted him in a different way.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Opening the batting and bowling a few overs. He&#39;s incredibly professional. He looked after himself and managed well,&quot; the coach added.<\/p>\r\n",
