Ahead of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL) season, Gujarat Titans (GT) and India pacer Mohammed Siraj shared his thoughts on his rapport with captain Shubman Gill, describing him as a "bowler's captain." He also mentioned that making their Test debut together helped strengthen their bond.

After a long spell with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), Siraj is set to don the Gujarat Titans jersey.

Siraj said about Gill, "Shubman is a very good captain, and he is a bowler's captain. Whatever the bowlers ask for, he provides. He gives that freedom to the bowlers. Our relationship is good, and whenever Rishabh Pant, Shubman, Axar Patel, and I are together outside, we usually roam around and have dinner together. So, our bonding is very strong. Our Test debut was also together (against Australia at Melbourne in 2020), which makes our connection even better."

Siraj also shared his thoughts on head coach Ashish Nehra, emphasizing that as a bowler, it’s crucial to have a coach like him; someone who has won numerous matches for India.

"He is a legend. I get to learn a lot from him. The way he stays calm is very important. But I do not like to stay calm. Shami (Mohammed Shami) bhai also played here, and he was taking a lot of wickets with the new ball. I would like to do the same--take as many wickets as possible with the new ball and keep my team ahead," he added.

Siraj has also mentioned he is looking forward to face off against Virat Kohli
