The former Chennai Super Kings player (CSK) Cheteshwar Pujara has criticized Stephen Fleming’s comment on the Chepauk Wickt after his loss of 50 races against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.

The CSK led by Ruturaj Gaikwad won the launch and chose to play first. The friendly Wickt with the Chepauk turn did not help its spinning. The veterans Hilanderos, Ravindra Jadaja and Ravichandran Ashwin, were too expensive last night. They admitted careers at an economy rate of 12.33 and 11.00, respectively. Jadeja remained without Wickt, while Ashwin achieved the scalp only one Wickt in Devdutt Padikkal.

After the game, CSK chief coach, Fleming, declared that Chepauk no longer provides “home advantage” to the team and has faced difficulties in recent years when reading the launch conditions.

“Well, as we have been telling you for several years, there was no advantage in the home in Chepauk. We have won away from home a couple of times. And we have not been able to read the WICKETS here in recent years. Then, it is not new,” Fleming said at the press conference after the game.

Pujara was stunned

Fleming’s statements left Pujara stunned by feeling that the launch helped the spinning spins more in the second tickets of the game, while the ball “slid a little more” during the CSK bowling alley. He emphasized how Chennai has been using releases that help his bowling players over the years. His current claim of “There is no advantage at home” is shocking to bid.

“Is [surprising] Because in CSK you cannot complain, it is a franchise where they have been preparing launches according to their strengths. Ought [use home advantage]If you are saying that [there is no home advantage] They don’t have something to say, so I’m quite surprised, “he explained about the waiting time of Espncricinfo.

Pureja emphasized that franchises such as the Indians of Mumbai, Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight riders have always prepared their homemade releases according to their needs. Therefore, Fleming’s version on Chennai’s launch makes it completely unfounded.

“If you talk about me, csk, kkr, I don’t think that is 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. His strength has been when they play at home, ”he added.

CSK medium order lagoons

Pujara also discussed the medium order concerns of their former franchise after RCB gave them their greatest defeat at home in the IPL. He recognized the superior order, which consists of Gaikwad and Rachin Ravindra, such as CSK’s force. But, if they do not work in any game, their medium -order hitters are not prepared to assume the challenge.

“Yes, their superior order is their strength, but when they do not work well, that is the time when the average order has to step forward, they do not seem completely ready for it,” he said.

The yellow men have won one and have lost a game so far. They will seek to recover soon from this overwhelming defeat when they play Rajasthan Reales in Guwahati on March 30.
