Flying high after a world record chase against Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings (PBKS) will try to hunt down Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in another away clash of the Indian Premier League 2024 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday.
CSK head coach Stephen Fleming believes his team will hold an edge over Punjab as the visitors are required to adapt to the new conditions here. “I would assume that the Kings would be buoyed by their performance in the last game, but they’ll also be realistic. They have to adjust to new conditions. Chennai is a little bit different.
Dube has scored 350 runs while striking at over 170. The left-hander also made the cut for the 15-man India squad for the T20 World Cup 2024.
On Dube’s selection, Fleming said, “It’s fantastic. He has proven this year that there’s a lot more to him than just spinners. He has raw power. And in the World Cup, you need some X-factor players, so I’m delighted that he’s going to get the opportunity. He’s a lot more complete in terms of what he’s trying to do and understanding this game and that comes with a little bit of experience.
“We’ve benefited from him and he is working hard on areas in which he wasn’t so strong, also continuing to develop his strength, which is the ability all along and quite regularly, and he’s done that for us this year. So that form continues and he’s going to be an impactful player for India.”
