What did Riyan Parag say after the win over CSK?

After the crushing defeat, Chennai Super Kings captain Ruturaj Gaikwad said, “The conditions were difficult in the beginning, especially against Jofra Archer. It was not easy to play against the medium pacers and the spinners were also getting help. Perhaps we could have batted a little deeper, but nowadays it is not decided what a good score is, so it was important to keep playing.”

He said, “You leave the past behind and move forward. The next match is in three days. There are many young players in the team, the beginning was a bit nervous but it was good to play a match. I don't always believe in playing completely aggressively, but because of the impact player rule, it is difficult to understand what will be the correct score. It is important for the batsmen to have confidence in themselves and if they get a chance, do not miss playing the shot.
