Nothing to worry about: CSK coach Stephen Fleming shares updates on Chahar
On the eve of the game between LSG and CSK, the latter’s head coach Stephen Fleming shared an update about the bowler and said that there’s nothing to worry about. Notably, Chahar was ruled out in CSK’s game against MI due to niggle injury. In the pre-match conference, Fleming said that the cricketer is under medical observation and it is a minor injury.
Fleming said, “He is doing his rehabs well. It was a minor injury nothing to worry about. Shardul Thakur bowled well in the last match against Mumbai so we opted to give time to Chahar to recover well.” Talking about the game against LSG, Fleming said, “We regard them very highly. They’re a very good side and we don’t really talk about momentum because it can go so quickly. What we want to do is keep repeating the things that we did well and in the last game there were some good things playing in Mumbai.”
