Ranji Trophy: Shubman Gill Set to Boost Punjab Against Chhattisgarh
Selectors split the New Zealand ODI squad and keep Yashasvi Jaiswal out of the main group while first-choice players cover the opening three matches.
- Punjab captain Uday Saharan scored an unbeaten 106 on Sunday as Punjab reached 269/4 against Chhattisgarh, while India skipper Shubman Gill managed just one run in his domestic return.
- Gill, returning to domestic cricket ahead of the New Zealand tour, was bowled by Chhattisgarh spinner Ajay Mandal after facing only five balls, marking an anti-climactic start to his red-ball preparation.
- Elsewhere, Delhi's Priyansh Arya dominated Gujarat with a magnificent 199 off 220 balls, studded with 30 boundaries, as Delhi reached 381/4 at stumps at the Air Force Ground B in Palam.
- Uttar Pradesh reached 202 against Goa, with Rinku Singh remaining unbeaten on 118 off 186 balls, though Yash Kasvankar's five-wicket haul dismantled the batting lineup.
- Ahead of the New Zealand tour, selectors have split the ODI squad, naming Shreyas Iyer captain for the final two matches while prioritizing World Test Championship qualification in squad construction.
