Fleming admits CSK didn’t get it right at auction table

Half the IPL battle is normally won at auction table but in case of Chennai Super Kings, the seeds of their struggles this season were sown on that very evening in Jeddah many months ago, when they failed to get the best assortment of players.

Long-time head coach Stephen Fleming admitted that it has led to an unmitigated disaster in the ongoing edition of the league.

“It’s hard to say. We got it completely right with the performances that we’ve had. So we have been looking over that in detail, just around our style of play. Also looking at how the game is evolving, and it’s not easy,” Fleming said after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad here on Friday, initially trying hard to defend the team.
But then there was acceptance that they might have missed a trick or two.

“Other teams have got better, and that’s the point of the auction. But we just haven’t been able to get it right. So you take responsibility from the top down, and you just ask a little bit more of the players,” he added.
