Speaking exclusively on JioHotstar’s special series “Gen Gold”, Gujarat Titans’ star batter Jos Buttler opened up on his transition to Gujarat Titans, his bond with former teammates, and his early impressions of Shubman Gill’s leadership.
 
On his experience playing under Shubman Gill’s captaincy
"It's amazing exposure for young players to perform under high pressure and expectations. As overseas players, we can’t fully grasp the pressure they face, but they handle it brilliantly. Shubman looks a classy player and a calm leader — a great communicator who connects with everyone. TATA IPL has been an incredible academy for young talent, offering them the chance to learn from top players and coaches, while still encouraging them to stay true to themselves."
 
On his transition from Rajasthan Royals to Gujarat Titans
"Playing for Gujarat Titans feels different after spending so many seasons with Rajasthan Royals and creating great memories. But I'm excited for something new—it keeps things fresh and interesting. The setup here is very relaxed and chilled. I've enjoyed getting to know Ashish Nehra, who runs a fun, positive environment, and Shubman Gill, who is a very impressive, calm young captain."
                                                                       
On his relationships with the coaching staff
"I knew Vikram a little from England, having played against him and during his time at Surrey, so it's nice to have that connection here. I’d heard a lot about Ashish Nehra too — he looks animated on the boundary but has everything under control. One of the best things about TATA IPL is meeting new people, learning different styles, and I'm excited to work under them."
 
On his bond with former Rajasthan Royals teammate Sanju Samson
"I’ve had a great relationship with Sanju over the years, learning a lot from him and watching how he goes about things. While time moves on and I’m now with a new franchise, I’ll always look back fondly at the friendships and memories we built — they’ll stand the test of time."
