Babar Azam

I have my own batting style and don't want to be compared with Kohli.

I was attracted to cricket at a very young age. My father's elder brother Akram Siddiq saw the passion for cricket in me, so he pushed me, and then another uncle - father of Kamran, Umar, and Adnan Akmal - advised my father to work hard on me, as he thought that I will make it big in cricket.

I have had the experience of playing in Sharjah, and it worked well for me.

I don't just play along the ground. I practice hitting the ball big, and when needed, I use it.

I am the sole example of what the IRCA has done for Pakistan cricket.

The World Cup is a very big event. Every player dreams of playing in one, and it was my dream, too.

My mindset is always focused, which goes up on match days.

For Pakistan to do well in the ODIs, that's my first priority.

If I can be number one in the world without power hitting, then I don't need power hitting. But when I need to, I utilise it well.

I go out in the middle with a positive frame of mind and the intention of playing out the entire overs and making full use of the available opportunities.

I loved playing cricket from my childhood. My dad made me play in the streets, and my interest grew. He put me in a club, seeing this. My habit grew from that point.

I am trying to take my ODI confidence to Test cricket.
