IPL 2024 – Deepak Chahar’s injury not looking good, says CSK coach Stephen Fleming

Whereas Fleming did not specify the character – and extent – of Chahar’s harm, he steered that early indicators weren’t promising.

“Yeah, the travelogue is fairly busy,” Fleming mentioned after CSK misplaced to Punjab by seven wickets. “There’s a variety of ins and outs. So, Deepak Chahar would not look good. The preliminary feeling wasn’t nice. So, I am hoping for a extra constructive report when the physio and the physician take a look.”

“The Sri Lankan boys are off to get their visas,” Fleming mentioned. “We’re hoping that their course of is clean and we get them again for the subsequent recreation up north. Richard Gleeson was good and it was a constructive. Shedding Fizz [Mustafizur] is disappointing, there’s lots taking place is not it?

“Tushar has a little bit of flu going round as effectively. So we have needed to make a couple of modifications, which is uncommon. Once more, that is a part of it and once more we now have received the sources. Simply they have not had the sport time to be actually snug with their roles and us to be snug with a recreation plan, which we’re combating a bit of.”

On his IPL debut, Gleeson, 36, swung the brand new ball each methods, and supplied CSK with one of many three wickets they took on Wednesday. Gleeson additionally has yorkers and bouncers in his repertoire however past him and Pathirana, CSK do not have a specialist abroad seamer of their squad.

“Gleeson is an efficient new-ball bowler and might swing the ball each methods and had a bit of little bit of zip and one hit Dhoni’s gloves arduous,” McClenaghan mentioned on Timeout, ESPNcricinfo’s evaluation present. “He was spectacular in his first outing within the IPL in troublesome situations. So he’s going to be good from there and it is what you do with the opposite spot. Mustafizur is gone. If Pathirana is out for multiple recreation, I might most likely have a look at taking part in Mitchell Santner towards Punjab. As a result of you may bowl him within the powerplay to Jonny Bairstow and Prabhsimran [Singh] and for those who get Rilee Rossouw out, he might be operator within the center.”

Mukesh Choudhary, who has performed only one aggressive recreation for the reason that begin of 2023, and Simarjeet Singh, who hasn’t performed any aggressive matches in that interval, are among the many Indian bowling choices together with Maharashtra legspinner Prashant Solanki, who was on the subs bench for Wednesday’s fixture.

“The Dube issue is the one [reason],” Fleming mentioned. “So for those who get to 6 overs, that is the right time for him to return in. The following factor is with left-right [combination], we would like [Ravindra] Jadeja, who has received a constructive function as effectively, to return in and take them [the spinners] on as effectively. However they bowled effectively. The Rizvi one, we’ll talk about a bit of bit extra, could go the opposite means round with that one however once more he is constructive and his means to hit sixes in coaching has definitely been good. However there is a temperament a part of that as effectively that younger gamers have to study. So we now have received a bit of knowledge from that.

“The casualty was Mitchell taking place the order. What we learnt from the primary a part of the event was if it goes too low, there are different gamers – Moeen Ali and MS [Dhoni] – who can push the sport alongside. So the window closes there nevertheless it was very a lot getting the ways proper for what we wished to do within the center. And that was to interrupt their spinners up however they gained that competitors.”
