But with a ninth-finish season and with all the teams having a new-look squad, CSK needs to put behind the loss against Gujarat Titans on Friday and move ahead. CSK coach Stephen Fleming, too, insisted that his team could have performed better against Gujarat, adding that the team would perform better in the coming matches.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, who made 92 off just 50 balls was the star performer for CSK in the season opener. But the rest of the team could not rally around him and make good contributions. "We thought we were a little bit short. Ruturaj played a great hand, but around him, we just didn't capitalise on the couple of positions we got into. They (Gujarat) bowled well from 12 to 16 overs and we couldn't get that final push that we needed. 180 is a good score, but we were in a position where we could have got 190-200 runs. We were probably a little bit match underdone," said Fleming after his team's defeat on Friday night.
