Chennai Super Kings as a franchise never presses the panic button and there is not much to worry about despite the five-time champions' terrible run in the current season IPL, CEO Kasi Viswanathan told news agency PTI on Wednesday.
CSK have lost a record five games in a row this season and more than halfway into the tournament, find themselves at the bottom of the points table with six losses in eight games.
They have lacked firepower in the batting department and captain Ruturaj Gaikwad's absence due to an injury has only made it worse for the storied outfit. Mahendra Singh Dhoni is back leading the side in Gaikwad's absence.
While he accepted that it was not an ideal season, Kasi Viswanathan said there was no air of panic among the decisonmakers of the team.
"We have not been performing up to the mark. We are trying to improve and we will try to do well in the next few games. We have never pressed the panic button in our franchise is not like that, it is just a game," Viswanathan told PTI.
It is not CSK DNA to criticise the squad when the performance is upto the mark, the CEO said while adding that he was confident that the stand-in skipper would do what is best for the team.
"See, it's not the question of anybody. It's a question that the team should do well and not just one individual. We don't talk to the team management. Dhoni will do what is right for the team.
"What we are expecting as administrators is good performance by the team and we don't criticize our team at all," he added.
