“I keep telling him that you’re my bunny” - Mohammed Siraj on his equation with star India player

Mohammed Siraj was a force to reckon with against England in the recently concluded series. He bowled the most number of overs by any Indian in a series. He also became the highest wicket taker in the series as he bagged 23 wickets. It was anticipated that he will make it to the Asia Cup 2025 squad, but the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) decided to rest the pacer and maintain his workload.

Siraj is now spending his time away from the game in his hometown. In a recent conversation, he shed light on his equation with India Test captain Shubman Gill. Siraj said that his camaraderie with Gill dates back to India A days and both the players know each other strength and weaknesses. He also added that he jokingly remarks Gill as his bunny as both players achieved some of their respective milestones together.

“Shubman and I have been together for a long time. We have played India A. We have spent time off the field as well. We made our Test debuts together at the MCG, and also became ODI No. 1 (ICC rankings) at the same time. We have a lot of memories together. He’s also the captain of Gujarat Titans. We bat at the nets together and keep talking. I keep telling him that you’re my bunny. Our understanding is very easy and it reflects on the field. He understands what I want, what I don’t and vice versa,” said Siraj to Rev Sportz.
