Chennai Super Kings did all the good work only to falter at the final hurdle last year but middle order batsman S Badrinath believes the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Indian Premier League side can better their show this season.

In the capital for a promotional event today, Badrinath said having a talismanic captain in Dhoni and the latest addition of England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff in the ranks, CSK definitely stood a better chance this time.
