CSK captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said
Rajasthan captain Ryan Parag said
I'm happy to win. Wins after 2 games. I felt we scored 20 runs. We batted well in the middle overs, but in the middle of the wickets, it was difficult. We did the bowling well. We saved 20 runs from fielding. Players worked a lot with fielding coach Dishant Yagnik.
Ryan Parag hit 2 fours and 2 sixes.
Vanindu Hasranga said 4 wickets
I was just trying to do basic things. Finally I was trying to bowl wide length, our batsmen batted well. I liked to take Gaikwad's wicket, he batted well. Pollen and Hatmayer scored good catches. I have seen the Pushpa film many times, which is why I was celebrating after the wicket. The role of my and month is different. We try to fulfill it.
