While talking to Islamabad United's podcast, the right-handed batter talked about the comparison with Babar since his cover drive was liked by many cricket pundits, he said:
"Babar Azam is a legend and there is no match with him since he got class but every batter has his release shot and I try to play that [cover drive],"
"After playing U19, I was motivated but when a player features for Pakistan, it is another kind of pressure."
"Not everyone watches U19 cricket but it is Pakistan or Pakistan Super League (PSL), everyone has expectations. At the start of my career, I didn't use to sleep when I was not able to perform."
"It affected me in the start but I realised people will. The one who is in the stadium knows more what pressure he is dealing with."
