Requiring 203 to win, CSK completed with 170/6, which earned hosts Rajasthan a 32-run win.
Chennai coach Fleming careworn on the significance of “set roles” within the batting order when requested if a number of the large hitters may have been promoted.
“The set roles are very important. (Ajinkya) Rahane has been great for us at No. 3. We don’t mess with things that are going well,” mentioned Fleming. “It was just today we came up against a team that took the pace off the ball. We couldn’t get any real momentum in the first six overs.
“Devon Conway, who’s in excellent kind, could not get underway. The rhythm of the innings was gradual. When we tried to catch the sport up, we made errors.”
Playing at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, Rajasthan made 64 for no loss in the powerplay, and went on to amass 202 for five after batting first while Chennai managed just 42 for one in the first six overs.
Fleming admitted they lost the match in the powerplays, saying the opposition was “excellent” with both the bat and ball in the first six overs.
“The first six overs, they had been excellent with the bat and the ball as nicely. That simply set the 2 innings up for them,” Fleming said at the press-conference.
“We may have been higher, however a part of that’s enjoying away from residence — looking for out the proper size to bowl, what kind of swing circumstances we’re going to get. That’s a part of the problem of enjoying away.”
Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a 43-ball 77 to set the tone before Devdutt Padikkal (24 not out) and Dhruv Jurel (34 off 15) provided the late charge to prop up RR.
The CSK bowlers were a bit unlucky as a lot of edges went for boundaries in the final overs.
“This pitch was so much completely different in look than the final one. It performed nicely. It was beginning to get a bit slower in the direction of the top, however Rajasthan performed a fantastic residence sport. They got here out of the blocks rather well. Jaiswal performed a fantastic innings to create some momentum,” the 50-year-old coach added.
“We got here again fairly properly within the sport. We had been slightly bit unfortunate. In the final 3-4 overs, simply with a couple of nicks, most likely 16-20 runs greater than what we thought. That’s simply how the sport goes. Those further 20 runs made it fairly robust.”
Jurel said he has practiced for match situations where he can make an impact in few balls.
“My mantra is to bat and relaxation will deal with itself. I simply performed the scenario. I’ve finished three-four hours batting every single day. I be certain I’m getting one thing from my batting,” Jurel said.
“I attempt to preserve the sport easy. I do know I can hit all over the place. Even if I play 6-7 balls, I do know I can get large hits and completely change the sport.
“This is a spot which was given by the management so I practice like that. It doesn’t feel like if I’m getting runs or I have less balls, I’ve to score big runs, it doesn’t matter,” he added.

Jurel was run out by MS Dhoni and the batter mentioned he’s simply fortunate to share the sector with the Indian legend.
“I’m fortunate enough to share the field with MS Dhoni. I have always dreamt of it. I don’t feel the pressure, I feel motivated. He’s behind me, he’s watching me, that’s enough for me,” he mentioned.
