CSK Coach Stephen Fleming Reveals Why Dwayne Bravo Missed Opener Match & His Return: Details Here! 

In the opening match of IPL 2020, Dwayne Bravo was missed on the field; he was not seen in the playing XI for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) against Mumbai Indians (MI).

A day after the match, CSK head coach Stephen Fleming shared an update on Bravo's comeback. Bravo, who is injured from his stint in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) is likely to miss one more game for CSK in IPL. 

However, Fleming confirmed the news stating that Bravo will not be available for selection when CSK takes on Rajasthan Royals on September 22. CSK coach also praised Curran for making the most of his opportunity in Bravo's absence. 

"Dwayne was injured so he is probably out for the first two games. But Sam's performance was a big positive. His attitude is quite infectious. His performance today was quite outstanding. Straight off the plane yesterday," said Fleming.

"If Dwayne was fit, it would have been a toss-up if he [Curran] had played at all. So he has taken this opportunity and put some pressure on," he added. 

Highlighting about yesterday's game, Dhoni won the toss and decided to bowl. Mumbai Indians managed to score  162 runs on the board but CSK brought an end to their 5-match losing streak against Mumbai Indians.
