Chennai Super Kings head coach Stephen Fleming on Thursday revealed what the team did in their 6-day break, as the MS Dhoni-led team lies at the bottom of the points table with 2 losses and 1 win in three games.

He said that the players utilized the break well and the team got clarity about some issues and how to sort them out. "It came at a good time because the first three games were in quick succession and all games were at different grounds, so you have to appreciate trying to read conditions, for each game being predominantly the first team to play there was tough,” Fleming said.  

"And also coming off a couple of challenges we had off the field, we've used this break pretty well, we got some clarity around what we need to do and have practiced very well," Fleming told the CSK website.

In some good news on the eve of the SRH game, he said batsman Ambati Rayudu and all-rounder Dwayne Bravo are available for selection.

Fleming also touched upon the fact that CSK will be playing four of the next five games at a single venue (Dubai) and he said it would be helpful to settle in and try and read conditions at one ground.

"I'm looking forward to putting in a bit of performance than we did the last time we played at Dubai where we were outplayed by Delhi Capitals. There were a number of areas that we weren't happy with, and we've worked hard on those," he said.

The former CSK opener also said that the team management has gathered enough data by playing other teams once that they can move on from the tough start and restart well after the break.

"I heard comments yesterday that teams are still learning, they've had the benefit of playing at one ground and are learning at other grounds, so I'm not sure. But from our point of view, we certainly learnt a lot, and even over the six days now, to watch and try and work the characteristics of each of the grounds has been beneficial," he added.
