One of the most successful teams in the Indian Premier League – Chennai Super Kings started their 2020 edition in a bizarre way. While they won their first game against Mumbai Indians, they faced two successive defeats against Rajasthan Royals and Delhi Capitals.

Along with their batting, their bowling department also failed to make an impact as they are likely unable to adjust to different conditions in UAE. However, Coach Stephen Fleming shared the woes after their loss to Delhi Capitals on Friday.

"Yeah, it's an area of concern because it has been one of the strengths for CSK and the style of play we have developed in the last 12 years, is heavily based on spin. So we are trying to find a different personality so spin definitely plays a part," Fleming said in the post-match press conference.

"We struggled with the fact that we have played on three different grounds and all of them have different conditions. We are struggling to adjust and find the pace and style to bowl through the middle. We have not bowled well in the last few games, so we need to rectify that," he again said.

While both Ravindra Jadeja and Piyush Chawla failed with the ball, CSK have spinners like Imran Tahir, Mitchell Santner, Karn Sharma and R Sai Kishore in the bench.

"We are a bit muddled at the moment, we are missing some key players and are trying to find a balance that allows us to be competitive," he said.

He again added, "Again it comes to the spin bowling aspect, we are looking to develop a personality on the type of pitches we are getting. We are trying to find a combination without Raina and Rayudu. The performance against Delhi was on the weaker side in terms of intent. It has been an interesting six days and now we have the time to rectify the issues and there are a few of them."
