CSK coach Stephen Fleming admitted that his team was “clumsy” and let RCB “off the hook” during their 50-run loss on March 28 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. Fleming attributed the loss to CSK’s inability to accurately read the pitches at Chepauk, stating that they need to adapt better to the conditions. He emphasized the importance of applying themselves better and creating opportunities, regardless of the surface. This loss marks an end to CSK’s eight-game winning streak in 17 years.
