'Surprised By Fleming’s Claim': Pujara Questions CSK’s Home Advantage Concerns
Former Chennai Super Kings: Former Chennai Super Kings player Cheteshwar Pujara has expressed surprise at head coach Stephen Fleming’s recent claim that CSK has had no home advantage at Chepauk. Pujara, who has been part of the franchise in the past, found the remark unexpected, especially given CSK’s history of tailoring pitches to suit their strengths.
"It is surprising because at CSK, you can't complain. It’s one of the few franchises that ensures the pitch plays to their advantage. If he's saying they don't have a say, then I’m quite surprised. Franchises like MI, CSK, and KKR make sure they get what they want when playing at home," Pujara said on ESPNcricinfo’s TimeOut after CSK suffered their heaviest home defeat - a 50-run loss to Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Friday.
"If you speak about MI, CSK, KKR - I don't think that's the case (them not getting pitches they ask for). Any other franchise, I can still understand. Those (three) franchises make sure they get what they want. Their strength has been when they play at home."
