Chennai Super Kings suffered their fourth loss of the season but head coach Stephen Fleming did not seemd deterred at the post-match press conference on Tuesday.
Chennai skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad's second IPL century was overshadowed by Marcus Stoinis' unbeaten knock as LSG claimed a six-wicket victory.
But coach Fleming felt they competed well irrespective of the conditions presented to them, 'Today was, a little bit slow and probably for the first, maybe 20, 25 overs and then, the juice hit and it just sped it up, which it does. So we knew that was going to happen. We knew there was a bit of value in the toss. And we just set about trying to get a score that was going to keep us in the game. '
'We saw, a great hundred from Ruturaj (Gaikwad), absolute craft. Fantastic knock. He played incredibly well with some power to get to a score of 210. So but we weren't comfortable with that score but we knew we were in the game and we saw another great hundred from Marcus Stoinis,' Fleming said.
In conclusion, Fleming also admitted that his team let the pressure get to them, 'They (LSG) answered pretty well. And in the end it was good game of cricket. We felt we competed well given the conditions in the field for the back end. But under pressure we just let the little things slip.'
