Following the loss against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Friday, Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming stated that the five-time champions have failed to understand the Chennai pitch in the last few years, reported ESPNcricinfo.

Shubman Gill Reveals Masterplan To Nullify Rohit, Surya, Hardik, Says "Decision Taken Before..."

Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill said on Saturday that the decision to play the IPL match against Mumbai Indians on a black soil pitch was taken even before the tournament began in the hope of keeping a potent MI line-up muffled. The plan worked to perfection as the Mumbai batters struggled in the chase of 197, ending up at 160 for six and suffered a 36-run defeat.

Yes, that was a factor as well, (MI's strong batting line-up), but this wicket suited us," said Gill in the post-match presentation.

India Test Icon, Bought By CSK In 2021, Counters Stephen Fleming's "Home Advantage" Remark
