Left-arm pacer Gurjapneet Singh credited former Chennai Super Kings (CSK) coach Stephen Fleming for creating a pressure-free environment and said bowling alongside Jamie Overton and the rest of the pace attack helped him grow during his breakthrough Indian Premier League (IPL) season.<\/p>\n

In IPL 2026, Gurjapneet played eight times, taking four wickets at an average of 58.25.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was with him (Fleming) for two years. He was very calm, very chill, and very easy to talk to because sometimes when we are losing, it\u2019s very difficult to talk to the coach. Everyone is under pressure. But he is a person who doesn\u2019t put pressure on you,\u201d Gurjapneet said.<\/p>\n

Fleming spent 14 seasons as CSK coach, winning seven trophies, including five IPL titles, before moving on to take on the job of England men\u2019s Test team.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe (Fleming) always told me to keep practising my strengths, gain confidence in practice and then deliver in the match. That\u2019s what I tried to do,\u201d he said on the sidelines of his TNPL franchise Madurai Panthers\u2019 jersey launch event.

\u201cI think he has an X-factor. That\u2019s why CSK was able to get five trophies (under him). I think he leaves everything to the player because he finds out the potential from the player. Freedom is there.<\/p>\n

The 27-year-old also highlighted the understanding between Fleming and M.S. Dhoni, saying the duo ensured bowlers were used in roles that best suited their strengths.<\/p>\n

Discussing CSK\u2019s pace attack, Gurjapneet said Overton\u2019s express pace made life easier for his fellow pacers by allowing them to build sustained pressure.<\/p>\n

\u201cJamie was bowling very quickly from one end, so we were able to build pressure together. When one bowler was creating pressure, the other was getting wickets,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
