Punjab Kings assistant bowling coach Trevor Gonsalves said the side’s struggles at home were not something to fret over.
“We had been to Ahmedabad and beat 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 the advantage or anything,” Gonsalves said on the eve of the IPL match against Chennai Super Kings at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium.

He added that PBKS may tinker with its line-up taking into consideration CSK’s strengths and weaknesses. “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.”
CSK assistant bowling coach S. Sriram said the bowlers have done “pretty well” so far and added that the composition of the top-order will be decided only on match-day.
“Still do not have an idea. We will take the call on the day. I don’t think there is a fixed order. The coach and the captain will come up with what’s best for the team and the conditions,” said Sriram.
He added that taking time to find the perfect combination was nothing new for IPL sides.
“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,” Sriram said.
