Fleming: 'No Finishers Anymore' in Modern T20 Cricket, Backs CSK's Aggressive Approach
•Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming believes the traditional finisher's role is obsolete in modern T20 cricket due to all-out aggression from ball one.
•Fleming stated that run rates of 10-12 are expected throughout, eliminating the need for late-game peaks, and CSK's squad is built for this aggressive style.
•He expressed confidence in CSK's batting resources, mentioning players like Brevis and the injured MS Dhoni, despite gaps in the middle and lower order.
•Fleming backed Sanju Samson, stating two innings don't define a concern, and highlighted the Impact Player rule's role in tilting the game towards batting power.
•He emphasized the challenge of securing talent in T20 franchise cricket and the continuous effort to adapt to the evolving game and identify future stars.
