“I have my own batting style and don't want to be compared with Kohli.” — Babar Azam Quote

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.

My aim is to be the best in the world and perform in each of Pakistan's wins.

I do not pay any heed to the negative thoughts, I just go with the plan my team gives me.

Runs are runs, even if they are coming off playing cut shots or in front, but it's not like T20 can only be played with big shots.

There's a difference between batting at number four position and batting in the lower order.

I have always enjoyed playing as a batsman. In the T20 format, I have been asked to play at six or seven. I have finished a few innings batting first and a few chasing. It feels good and it feels like yes I can do it.

Life is much like batting, treating every ball on merit.

As a batting captain, you do have to earn bowlers' trust, especially when it comes to fields.

I've always said, even batting leadoff, that I want to be a dangerous hitter.
