Arshdeep revealed that after the team’s previous title win in 2024, some players from the core group had already set a long-term target.

“When we won the last (T20) World Cup (in 2024), me, Hardik (Pandya) bhai and a lot of players from the core team said that we have to win at least five trophies in the next 10 years.

“That was the main focus and we knew that if we played with that standard, the result would come automatically. We followed the process and backed our game,” Arshdeep said in a video shared by Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The young pacer picked up nine wickets in eight matches during the tournament, maintaining an economy rate of 8.46.

Arshdeep also spoke about bowling alongside India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who finished the tournament as the joint highest wicket-taker with 14 wickets. He praised Bumrah’s work ethic and the inspiration he provides to teammates.

“It was a lot of fun to bowl with him. Cricket is very easy for him and it feels like he’s playing on a computer. But his process is very amazing. He works very hard and inspires us to do a lot to work hard,” Arshdeep added.

The pacer also thanked fans for standing by the team throughout the tournament.

“You all gave us a lot of love. Especially when we lost a match, you supported us a lot and thank you so much for this,” he said.

Arshdeep will next be seen playing for Punjab Kings in the upcoming season of the Indian Premier League.
