Shubman Gill out for 1 on Ranji Trophy return against Chhattisgarh
Shubman Gill made a brief return to Ranji Trophy cricket, lasting just 10 balls, as he was dismissed for one run by left-arm spinner Ajay Mandal during Punjab's match against Chhattisgarh. The 27-year-old Punjab captain was bowled by Mandal, who had earlier dismissed Harnoor Singh. The match took place at the PCA New Chandigarh Stadium on Sunday, with Punjab losing their third wicket.
Gill, who came in at No. 4, missed Punjab's season opener against Assam and was hoping to gain some first-class cricket experience ahead of India's upcoming New Zealand tour. The ODI series against the Kiwis begins on November 4, while the first Test is scheduled to commence on November 19, followed by the second Test in Christchurch from November 27.
Gill's brief appearance in the Ranji Trophy game came after a strong home ODI series against the West Indies, where he scored 334 runs at an average of 167, including a 223 off 133 balls in the second ODI.
