My aim is to be the best in the world and perform in each of Pakistan's wins.
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 don't get happy with personal milestones. I get happy when my team wins.
I'd be lying if I say that not scoring a Test century was a burden on me.
I have my own batting style and don't want to be compared with Kohli.
I can never forget my early days, when I was running from pillar to post to get chance to exhibit my prowess at higher level, but no one was ready to give me a break.
The aim is to be the best for Pakistan across all formats.
It's flattering to be compared to Kohli. He is very consistent, and his mindset is very good. He gives his 100 per cent every time he walks out to bat.
There is always a plan, and that is very simple - to lead the game till the end - and my role is to play the anchor while the team plays around me.
When I get out, I get annoyed with myself.
I try to learn with experience. This is my process of learning, so I try my 100 per cent.
I keep learning from my mistakes, and I take advice from my seniors, and the aim is to be the best in the world across all formats.
Even when I played in club matches, I would take it to heart that I had got out early.
I have heard good things about Somerset from Azhar Ali, and I want to play a part in the Club winning matches.
I'm looking forward to the new challenge that playing T20 cricket in England will bring.
I try to play like Kohli and compete with him.
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.
My individual role is to take the innings as deep as I can and perform in a way that benefits the team most.
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.
It is not my role to go out and do the power hitting. My job is to play my natural game.
