IPL 2023: CSK Coach Stephen Fleming passes important message for team, ‘we need to RE-LEARN, re-teach the team how to play’: CHECK OUT
With this year’s Indian Premier League set to be played on home-and-away basis after being held inside ‘bio-bubbles’ for two years, the former New Zealand skipper said players will have to adjust quickly to new ground conditions if they are to do well this season.
“We have to really play well, and we have to re-teach the team how to play (this season). We’ve had three or four years almost where we’ve been away, so our style of play has changed,” Fleming was quoted as saying in a report in CSK website on Monday.
“So, we quickly have to get back into sync with the ground and make sure that the style of play we play represents what the ground’s asking. And, we’ll do that and we need to do it quickly. So, we’ll work very hard on that.” Fleming added that with IPL action finally set to return to CSK’s fortress Chepauk, his team will do its best to maximise the advantages on home turf.
CSK will be bolstered by the addition of England Test skipper Ben Stokes, who was bought by the team for Rs 16.25 crore in the IPL auction at Kochi recently.
“Well, it’s a great time because we turned our home ground into almost a fortress, it was really hard for teams to come and play us and we worked hard. It didn’t happen by accident. We really developed the team that could specialise here. So, we’re really proud of what we achieved here,” said Fleming.
