IPL 2023 Final: MS Dhoni & Co. is well prepared for SHOWDOWN, Says Coach Stephen Fleming

The four-time champion MS Dhoni and Co. are more prepared for the IPL 2023 final against Gujarat Titans than they have ever been, said head coach Stephen Fleming, who made the statement on Saturday. In the past, when conditions had an impact on their performance. Fleming claimed that CSK’s win-loss ratio stayed around 50% because they no longer develop and train their squads with the conditions and pitches of their home stadium, Chepauk, in mind. He stated that the team will be prepared for any situation, since rain is anticipated for the final on Sunday, and that they had previously made mistakes when interpreting weather and pitches.

In the pre-game news conference, Fleming stated, “We geared ourselves up so well for Chennai that we did struggle with circumstances at times in away games. The finals were always a little bit of a challenge, and our record is roughly 50% of winning the final.

It may be because of the type of the game we developed; as a result of being so successful at home, we had to make modifications when playing at a neutral location. CSK are “a bit more rounded this year” , according to Fleming.

The team is diverse enough to put together performances even though we are far off the mark in our efforts to create the ideal conditions. Given that there are now two available pitches for the final, we are not overly concerned about the weather. We are in a far better position than we were previously”, he remarked.

Chennai Super Kings defeated GT in Qualifier 1 to advance directly to the Finals, while GT defeated MI in Qualifier 2 to earn a berth in the Final versus CSK.
