"You feel amazing when you are compared to someone like MS Dhoni and you compare me with him. It's amazing, but I don't want to be compared with anyone, I want to make myself as a name in Indian cricket because it's not good to compare some legend with some youngster," he said following return from Australia, reports PTI.
