Mohammad Haris is currently leading Pakistan Shaheens in the ACC Emerging Asia Cup in Sri Lanka. They have won both of their matches so far, and their next match is against India.

Haris is sometimes compared to India batter Suryakumar Yadav for his slightly unorthodox shot selections. However, Haris wants to make a name for himself as a 360-degree cricketer.

“We shouldn't compare between the two of us just yet, Surya is 32-33 years old, I am still a 22-year-old boy. To reach that stage I still have to put that work in,” he told a local YouTube channel.

 “Surya has his own level, De Villiers had his own level and I am my own level well. I want to make a name for myself as a 360-degree cricketer, not use theirs,” he added.

India and Pakistan have both won their first two matches, so the winner of their match on Wednesday will top the group.

“All teams are just like the other for us. We have come to play this tournament, we haven't come to play India. We will play against India just like we played against every other team,” he concluded.
