'Temperament Stood Out Along With Skill': Fleming Lauds Kartik’s Match-winning Knock
Chennai Super Kings: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) head coach Stephen Fleming heaped praise on youngster Kartik Sharma for his composed match-winning knock, highlighting his temperament and skills after their commanding eight-wicket win over Mumbai Indians (MI) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Chasing 160, CSK rode on unbeaten half-centuries from Ruturaj Gaikwad (67 not out) and Kartik (54 not out) to seal victory with 11 balls to spare, completing a clinical allround performance after their bowlers had restricted MI to 159/7.
“He's a fine player, and he was expensive in the auction because others see that as well, and tonight it was good to see the temperament as well as the skill on show, and he will just get better and better,” Fleming told reporters in the post-match press conference.“You have the young players, there are two parts to it, one is how you introduce them. It is a big stage, no matter what they've been doing at the domestic level. So understanding their mentality is really important, and it is a big step-up."
