Selectors split the touring party as India manage workloads across formats, with 42 players named across four series and several overlapping squads.
- On Sunday, India captain Shubman Gill returned to Ranji Trophy cricket for Punjab against Chhattisgarh at the New PCA Stadium but was dismissed for 1 run by spinner Ajay Mandal.
- Punjab opted to bat first on Sunday but faced early pressure after openers Vihaan Malhotra and Harnoor Pannu departed, leaving the team at 65 for two.
- Stabilizing Punjab's innings with an unbeaten 106, captain Uday Saharan formed a 130-run partnership with Prabhsimran Singh to guide the team to 269 for four at stumps.
- Elsewhere, Delhi batter Priyansh Arya scored 199 at the Air Force Ground in New Delhi, falling one run short of a double century before being bowled by part-timer Manan Hingrajia.
- These performances precede India's demanding New Zealand tour, which includes five T20Is, five ODIs, and two Tests beginning November 19 in Wellington.
