"Absolutely, Dhoni inspires me. He does it for wicket-keeping and batting both. He is a great keeper. I idolise him. The way he finishes an innings I would like to do the same for Pakistan too," Ahmed told reporters here.

India lock horns with Pakistan in a World Twenty20 group game at the Eden Gardens here on March 19 and Sarfraz believes there will be pressure on both sides to do well.
"It is a big game. Both teams will be under immense pressure. The atmosphere will be great, I am sure. Also we have never won in a World Cup (against India). We will try and win here and break the jinx. We will try to play good cricket," he said.
"As for me, I have played in India-Pakistan games before. The big crowd will be a motivation and we will go for a win."
Sarfraz who is known for his swashbuckling batting, said he would try and stick to his natural style of play.
"I just have one style. I will try and play my natural game," he added.
