Despite gill

Ranji Trophy Group: Shubman Gill showcased his class and resilience with a fine century, but his efforts were not enough to prevent Punjab from succumbing to an innings and 207-run defeat against Karnataka in their Ranji Trophy Group C clash at M Chinnaswamy Stadium on Saturday.

Despite the skipper’s heroics, Punjab's frail batting lineup couldn’t withstand Karnataka’s dominant bowling and batting display.

Resuming the third day on an overnight score of 7, Gill took charge of Punjab’s second innings and played a valiant knock of 102 off 171 balls. The 25-year-old opener struck 14 boundaries and three sixes, demonstrating his trademark elegance and aggression.
