CSK COACH STEPHEN FLEMING REVEALS WHY SHIVAM DUBE BOWLED IN THE 19TH OVER!

CSK head coach Stephen Fleming explains why Shivam Dube was given the 19th over in the match against Lucknow.

The 7th league match of the IPL series was played at the Mumbai ground yesterday. The Chennai Super Kings team and the Lucknow Super Giants team clashed. Batting first, CSK scored 210 for 7 in 20 overs. Batting next, Lucknow won by 211 runs in 19.3 overs.

CSK's defeat in the match was criticized by many as the team's all-rounder Sivam bowling the 19th over. In that, Lucknow was on the verge of victory if they scored 34 off the last 12 balls of the match. Captain Jadeja then bowled the 19th over to all-rounder Sivam Dube. This shocked the fans.

The reason is that Shivam Dube did not bowl an over in the match before that. So it was a surprise to see him invited to bowl at the crucial stage of the match. He went on to score 25 runs in the 19th over, including 2 sixes and 2 fours. This is what turned the match around.

CSK coach Stephen Fleming explained the situation. In it, ‘then there was no intention of giving to the spin bowlers. Because the ground was as wet as Niagara Falls. That is why we asked Shivam Dube to bowl. The Lucknow team also played well, "said Stephen Fleming.
