NEW DELHI: Following Chennai Super Kings' six-wicket defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL 2024 match, head coach Stephen Fleming attributed the loss to the absence of key pacers like Matheesha Pathirana and Mustafizur Rahman.
"Without a doubt (If missing Pathirana and Mustafizur affected the outcome). Having injuries and losing players in an IPL is part of the process," Fleming acknowledged during the post-match press conference.
