Follow UsChennai Super Kings (CSK), who have lost three matches in a row after winning their season opener, are still not fretting about those losses. They rather feel that teams can lose a few at the start of the tournament and then make a comeback.
“This is not the first time any team is going through this. Some sides get off to a good start and some take their own time to find their combinations and their roles,” S Sriram, assistant bowling coach of CSK said in the pre-match press conference.
CSK will take on Punjab Kings at their home ground of Mullanpur on April 8 (Tuesday).
Trevor Gonsalaves, assistant bowling coach of the Punjab side negated the home advantage theory and said his team is full of confidence even after losing the first game at the home ground.
“We went to Ahmedabad and beat the Gujarat Titans over there. That was their home. We went to Lucknow and won there. That was their [Lucknow Super Giants’] home. So, there is nothing of home advantage or not taking advantage of anything,” Gonsalves said.
He also went on to claim that there will be at least one change in the PBKS lineup from their last game. “We do have a very balanced unit, but we will see a slight change maybe tomorrow [on Tuesday]. I cannot discuss or say anything about it but you will see a change,” he said.
While CSK have three losses and a win in their kitty, Shreyas Iyer-led Punjab have lost just one.
