Stephen Fleming supports Suresh Raina: On Thursday, MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad to qualify for the playoffs. However, Suresh Raina, popularly known as Mr. IPL, did not play in this match as well. Raina has been battling consistently poor form in IPL 2021. Meanwhile, Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming has backed him, saying that he is sure that Raina will do well in the upcoming tournament matches.
Three-time IPL winners Chennai Super Kings have 18 points from 11 matches. However, Raina’s form is a matter of concern for the team. Raina scored 54 off 36 balls against Delhi Capitals at the start of IPL 2021, but since then he has crossed the 20-run mark only once in 9 innings. Raina has scored just 157 runs in 11 innings in IPL 2021 so far.
Chennai head coach Stephen Fleming said, “His role is clear to us. He has the timing and it is the right time when a batsman is able to score. We understand the value of his experience and know that he is in the middle order.” Can play in. This is one department where we need strength. Raina is an experienced player. I hope his performance will improve as the tournament progresses.”
The head coach said that with the IPL reaching the playoffs soon, Chennai has a chance to handle the workload of the players, but the team is not going to change much. “The speed can be as fast as you,” he said. We are not talking about this. But we have a chance to manage the workload.” Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings will now face Rajasthan Royals on Saturday.
