RR vs CSK, IPL 2025: What did the captains say?
Riyan Parag, RR captain:
Would’ve done the same as well. My hometown, been brought up here and played a lot of cricket here, surreal feeling to play in front of all these people. We’ve done well in small bits, it’s about coming together and putting up a collective performance. Same team for us.
Ruturaj Gaikwad, CSK captain
We will bowl first. Looks a good wicket, better than the last game that was played here so we’ll look to chase. So far so good, it was a quick turnaround, very little time for us but that’s how the IPL is. We have to be ready. We have come here for the first time as a franchise, good to see all the love we’ve got. Two changes, Jamie Overton comes in for Sam Curran and Vijay Shankar for Deepak Hooda.
