19:25 IST Time to hear from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi - About his routine before every match, Sooryavanshi says the evening schedule has worked in their favour, giving the squad plenty of time to recover between games. He adds that he uses his free time to connect with his family. On the knockout pressure, he says his thought process does not change from game to game, and he makes a conscious effort not to overthink, which he believes keeps him sharp and focused.
About whether he focuses much on video analysis of the bowlers he is going to face, Sooryavanshi says he does not rely on it heavily, explaining that watching too much footage can plant doubts in his mind about the deliveries that could get him out. He adds that everyone already knows what each bowler brings to the table, so he simply focuses on visualising.
On how rubber-ball cricket shaped his game, Sooryavanshi says practising batting for five to six hours a day with a new ball that swings, on cemented wickets, has been invaluable. He notes that since
he opens across all formats, red-ball and white-ball alike, there will always be bowlers looking to frustrate him. He credits his father for ensuring he practised against all kinds of deliveries from an early age.
