Imam-ul-Haq, a Pakistani batsman, was crucial in the opening Test matchup with New Zealand. His 96-run innings allowed the hosts to regain control of the game before the Karachi game finished in a tie. Since he first wore the green jersey, Imam has consistently been a vital member of Pakistan's starting lineup. The 27-year-old batsman has appeared in 19 Tests and 54 ODIs so far, totaling 1322 runs in 19 Tests and 2528 runs in 54 ODIs. But because he was Inzamam-ul-nephew, Haq's a renowned cricketer, his career had never been easy because he was saddled with a lot of expectations.

The batter admitted in a recent interview with Sports Central that he occasionally becomes irritated when people compare him to Inzamam.

The phrase "Sach batau to dil kaafi dafa kiya hai ki chachu ko bolu "meri kya galti thi" is used.

According to Imam, who spoke to Sports Central, "If I'm being honest, I thought I should tell chachu (Inzamam), "What was my mistake?"

"However, certain things enter your life voluntarily. Despite what many think, I didn't handle the situation effectively. I had no choice but to go along with the flow. I arrived through a protracted procedure as well; when I was initially selected for the squad, I had averaged 50 in the Qaid-e-Azam trophy and participated in two U19 World Cups.

Imam continued by praising Pakistan captain Babar Azam for his consistent assistance throughout the difficult times.

"I won't lie; at first, I was unable to take the strain. I was at a loss for what to do. Babar is also worth mentioning at this point. He was a major factor in my support. We engaged in a lot of cricket play. Likewise, if he had any doubts, we used to talk about them as well. Everyone in my family is a fighter, and we don't readily give up. I thus continued to put in the effort, and I was surrounded by kind individuals "said he.

Imam, a cricketer from Pakistan, made his international debut in 2017, and he soon became the second player to achieve a century in their opening ODI match.
