IPL 2018 champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) had to shift their home matches from Chennai to Pune due to Cauvery river water dispute. CSK coach Stephen Fleming on Monday said that it wasn't easy for the team to relocate out of Chennai. Explaining the concern, Fleming said, "Most of the plans were to build a team according to Chennai's conditions but those things weren't in our control. Moving out of Chennai was a difficult decision. We knew the conditions of Pune. We had to change the way we had to play the game," Fleming said.

CSK could only play one match in Chennai before BCCI shifted the CSK's remaining home games to Pune citing security concerns.

"We knew the conditions in Chennai. The experience enabled us to do that. It was a big change but we had to get on with it," Fleming remarked.
