In Punjab’s Group C match against Karnataka at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, Shubman Gill staged a spectacular recovery in their second essay following a lackluster first innings. Following that, he scored his 14th First-Class century against the hosts.
At the time of writing, Punjab was reeling at 187/9 in 62 overs when he reached the incredible milestone and was out shortly thereafter.
After a two-and-a-half-year absence, Shubman Gill returned to the Ranji Trophy as the only batter to be set and withstand some outstanding bowling from the Karnataka bowling team.
Three maximums and fourteen fours were hit during his innings.
He scored 14 boundaries, although only three of them were on the side. The Punjab captain’s preferred area of the field was the off-side, where all of Gill’s sixes were hit. His colleagues failed to rise to the challenge, and Punjab was on the verge of a crushing innings loss. None of their top-order players, other from Gill, were able to reach the 20-run mark in their team’s second innings.
It’s Karnataka by an innings and 207 runs.
Speaking of the Karnataka team captained by Mayank Agarwal, their outstanding performance in the opening innings gave them a decisive victory over Punjab by an innings and 207 runs. R Smaran’s incredible double-century helped the hosts reach 475 after dismissing the visitors for a mere 55.
On the first day, Karnataka, who chose to field first, caused chaos. Together, Vasuki Koushik and Abhilash Shetty pulled off seven scalps. Punjab crumbled for the meager aforementioned total just 29 overs into the day, with only two of their batters managing to reach double figures. Karnataka was in fourth place while Punjab was in fifth place before the round six.
