Stephen Fleming blames Chepauk's pitch for CSK's defeat..!?

Chennai Super Kings' defeat in the match against royal challengers Bangalore has put all the blame on the team's coach stephen Fleming, saying, "Chepauk pitch is the reason for the defeat." He has also alleged that this is not just this time but has been happening like this for the last few years. Let's take a look at this in detail. The pitch of the chepauk stadium in chennai was changed a few years ago. This change happened when the stadium was completely renovated. stephen points out that until then, chennai chepauk used to have a situation where you could win by playing three or four spinners. There is some truth in that. But, recently, there have been two types of pitches in chennai Chepauk. One is slow, and the other is a pitch that cooperates equally with batting and bowling.
Stephen Fleming has pointed out that it is not known exactly what kind of pitch will be provided for any match. In the match played yesterday, the RCB team batted first and scored 196 runs. But the next CSK team scored only 146 runs. While many have been saying that CSK's batting line-up is bad, stephen Fleming has only mentioned the flaws in the pitch. Speaking about this, stephen Fleming said: "I have been saying this for the last few years. We do not have any home-ground advantage at the chepauk stadium. We have won the trophy even when we have not played in chepauk but have played at another stadium as our home ground."

"To be honest, we were not able to predict the pitch of the chepauk stadium properly. We have not been able to understand the chepauk pitch for the last two years. So this is not a new problem." "We come here every day and try to understand how much the pitch will cooperate with the bowling. Sometimes we can't understand it. This is not the old Chepauk. To take four spinners and play.." "Every pitch here is different. We are trying hard to understand it. They say that CSK doesn't have an aggressive batting lineup. But we have an aggressive batting line-up. I can't understand questions like that." "You can't say that because we didn't bat from the first ball and we didn't have luck on our side. We will see what happens in the end. We will see who wins in the end. We play positive cricket. We can't be left out for that," said stephen Fleming.
