IPL 2025: The Positives Are 'we Batted A Bit Better', Says CSK Coach Fleming
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming has pointed out the positive aspect from his team's fourth successive loss in the IPL 2025, which came against Punjab Kings, and said his side was in the game for a lot longer but admitted that CSK weren't able to keep the run rate at a good level through the middle overs.
Chasing 220, CSK openers Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra put on 61 runs in 6.3 overs. Ruturaj Gaikwad’s early departure once again exposed the middle order’s vulnerability, and the innings lost momentum just when it needed acceleration. Despite a late flourish from MS Dhoni, who scored 27 off just 12 balls with three sixes, CSK fell short of 18 runs, finishing on 201/5.
"The positives are we batted a bit better. We've had some substance from the top order, which was a bit lacking. We just weren't able to keep the run rate at a good level through the middle, and it was just too much towards the end. But we've been in the game for a lot longer, which is a positive aspect," Fleming admitted at the post-match press conference.
