Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni say the last-place team will see the changes in their next IPL matches testing the youngsters despite the Indian still You haven’t noticed the necessary “spark” in them. With just three wins in 10 games so far, CSK now only has a mathematical chance of reaching the play-offs. Next time they face the defending champs on October 23. “I think it’s only fair that we change that,” Fleming said after the seven-field loss to the Rajasthan Royals when asked if there would be a change in team policy. of sticking to a squad.
The losing streak of the three-time winners this season has put a question mark in focus and Dhoni, trying to justify it, said the younger ones haven’t done enough to force a change – so far.
“You don’t want to cut and change. Insecurity is something that you don’t want to prevail in the locker room. Young people too, we didn’t see the spark to push the boys,” Dhoni said at the presentation ceremony on Monday.
“But what this result has done is to give these young people a chance in the rest of the tournament. Maybe in the future we will incorporate them and they will play without pressure,” he added.
Fleming said the current depression shouldn’t be a bolt from nowhere to the side, which has an average age of over 30.
“We have been very consistent over the years with our selection. It stands to reason that, looking at the table now, this team has run out of some juice. But if you look at the three-year cycle, we won the first year, he lost the last one last year, “Fleming explained.
“We always thought the third year was an aging group and that it would be difficult, and Dubai has faced us with a new set of requirements.
“We have some players that we will see …” added the former New Zealand captain.
Fleming said slow conditions and some great bowling from the Royals spinners didn’t allow his team to keep up with the pace.
“When you’re exposed to spinners in slow conditions, it’s difficult to get the inputs going. We lost ground all the time. The consolidation period got longer. We couldn’t gain momentum.”

When asked about not tossing a roulette wheel after 12 overs, Fleming said, “To be fair, it’s more of a question for MS.”
“They’re testing. Even in Sharjah, it felt like it was going easier into the night. They (Smith and Buttler) took the spinners out of the game with their partner, Buttler hit exceptionally.”
