So, we are just trying to find not a quick fix, but we are trying to find the right combination where players are going to contribute for the back end of this tournament. We have had injuries, and we have been a little bit unsettled, but the main thing is getting guys in key areas and in form, which sometimes takes a bit of time.

But yeah, there has been more change. Some of it is forced upon us and some of it is form." He also applauded CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad and LSG all-rounder Marcus Stoinis for their centuries. "We saw a great hundred from Ruturaj, absolute craft, fantastic knock and he played incredibly well with some power to get us to a score of 210.

So, we were not comfortable with that score, but we knew we were in the game. And we saw another great hundred from Marcus Stoinis. So, they answered pretty well.

And in the end, it was a good game of cricket. We felt we competed well, given the conditions," he added. Fleming also spoke on legendary wicketkeeper-batter MS Dhoni's reception on the crease.

"I think I said it earlier, but the love for him throughout India and throughout the world is testimony to the way he's played the game. People talk about MS as a person, but he is also a great player and he has done some great things for India and for Chennai. So, people were just taking time and energy and effort to appreciate him and we do that every day.
