Reporter: What are your plans for IPL 2026? How many runs you want to score, what are your goals?
Sooryavanshi: Aisa question bologe to main do-teen hazaar runs bol doonga (if you ask me such a question, I will say two to three thousand runs), leaving the whole room break in laughter.
Sooryavanshi: Aisa kuch plan nahi kar sakta na ki mujhe itne run banane hai. Jo process hae wo follow kar rahe hai aur team ke liye trophy jeetna hai (I cannot plan that I have to score so many runs. I am following the process and winning trophies for the team).
Baaki personal goals pe aisa kuch focus nahi hai. Bas humlog apne process pe dhyan de rahe hain aur acha karne ko dekh rahe hai iss season.(There is no such focus on other personal goals. We are just focusing on our process and looking to perform well this season).
