The deep disappointment that skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni couldn't quite hide at the presentations after the six-wicket defeat to Kolkataon Thursday was echoed by Stephen Fleming soon after. The Chennai coach was, however, quick to announce that they were not about to get sucked into "knee-jerk" responses. "One bad game where the bowling looks a little bit off and you don't get too carried away," Fleming said, reminding that it's, "always been the philosophy of Chennai and Dhoni". "It's too easy to buy into mistakes in one game and start chopping and changing. You got to identify the things that went wrong and, if they can't be rectified, then, maybe, make a change or two," added the former New Zealand skipper.
