Playing in Delhi and not in Chennai is disadvantage: Fleming

With the play-offs of the Indian Premier League shifted out of the city's MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai Super Kings coach Stephen Fleming says it will be a "disadvantage" playing away from home.
"In Kolkata, we have done pretty well. Probably playing in Delhi and not in Chennai is disadvantage to us but you got to think positively about such things," Fleming said.
Asked if the spinners would have crucial roles to play in Delhi and Kolkata, he said, "Compared to teams that have dominated at home, we have played well in away matches if you look at our success rate. MS (Dhoni) has been doing a great job in picking the team for conditions in venues."

Already guaranteed a play-off berth, Fleming said they would like to win their final league match also as they "know the importance of extra points" for finishing in the top two.
"We want to play well against Bangalore in the last league match too as we know the importance of extra points. We were very close to do that last year too. It will be tough," Fleming told reporters after their 33-run win over Delhi Daredevils last night.
"It is a good performance after the last loss and we have bounced back well. It also pleases me the way our players are holding their nerves towards the business end. We look forward to semi finals," the Kiwi said.

The top two finishers in the league table get two opportunities to make it to the finals of the IPL.

Praising pacer Mohit Sharma for giving CSK early breakthroughs in sizeable runchase, Fleming said the best from the youngster is yet to come.
"He (Mohit) is one of seven fast bowlers we bought. He has been outstanding and even today his performance has shown improvement. He has been doing well with Andy (Bichel). He has got a big future. He keeps thing very simple. I do not think we have seen the best of him," he said.
CSK skipper M S Dhoni, with an unbeaten half-century, was instrumental in taking his side to 168 for four in their last home game.

"Dhoni has been very good for us. He is an outstanding finisher and we value that," he said.
