I watched a lot of the IPL for a month, and I was just watching this guy, he looks so easy.

Guys can have their plans and all this kind of thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Curran might have been alluding to Sooryavanshi\u2019s bull run in the IPL where he emerged the top-scorer this year with 776 runs at a strike-rate upwards of 230.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I guess, we will have our plans, of course, but I\u2019m not saying they\u2019re the right plans, you never know because he\u2019s playing really well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut at the end of the day, I\u2019ll try and execute my skills, but there\u2019s no doubt that he\u2019s pretty special for what he\u2019s doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>However, Curran cautioned Sooryavanshi to stay grounded amidst all the extreme adulations he attracts as an Indian cricketer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think being an Indian cricketer in India is probably much bigger than we are. So I think that\u2019ll probably be his biggest challenge, how he handles that. He has played one or two IPL seasons and is straight into the Indian squad now.
