The head coach of the Chennai Super Kings team in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League, Stephen Fleming, has finally spoken about the disappointing performances by veteran batter Suresh Raina in the ongoing season. Raina scored a half-century in his first match against the Delhi Capitals. However, after that, he has not played a significant knock for the Chennai Super Kings team in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League.
Shedding some light on his numbers so far in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League, the southpaw has scored 157 runs in 11 games. If considers the last ten matches, then Raina’s aggregate comes down to 103 runs. When asked about the form of Suresh Raina at a virtual press conference, head coach of the Chennai Super Kings team Stephen Fleming said:
“We have a pretty clear role for him. He has got an optimal time. We want him to bat and we’ve afforded the luxury of a player coming out and being aggressive. So, just getting the timing right without managing the batter. We value his experience and everything has got a part to play in the middle. Suresh is an experienced player who has earned a bit of a leeway and as the tournament goes on, his performance will improve.”
Suresh Raina will be in action tomorrow against the Rajasthan Royals team in the 2021 edition of the Indian Premier League
Experienced player of the Chennai Super Kings team, Suresh Raina will take the field against the Rajasthan Royals tomorrow at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi. It will be interesting to see how the CSK star performs for his franchise.
With the IPL 2021 playoffs approaching, head coach Stephen Fleming and the rest of the team management of the Chennai Super Kings will hope that Raina gets back to form.
