New DelhiThe world either runs on fear or due to this, Indian cricket is also running in the same way. Senior players used to be respected and junior players remained under the shadow of fear but now it is not so. The flop batting show, first against New Zealand and then against Australia, forced the board to keep rationality aside and use the baton of fear. When the baton was lifted, everyone was seen coming on line. Those who used to look at domestic cricket with inferiority complex for years are sending their consent to their state team.

Amidst the news of Rohit Sharma joining the Mumbai camp, a big news came that Gill will now play for Punjab to improve his/her game. The signal is very clear that this time the board is in no mood to let the players go away from the game, that is why one by one the consent of those players who were missing for years are coming for domestic cricket.

Gill says yes to Punjab for improving the game

Shubman Gill will be available for Punjab in the sixth round Ranji Trophy match against Karnataka at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru from January 23. However, the team has not been announced yet. Gill’s possible return to the Punjab team will give him/her an opportunity to work with Wasim Jaffer, the highest run-scorer in Ranji history and now the coach of Punjab. This comes at a time when he/she has scored at a poor average of just 17.64 in 18 innings since June 2021 outside Asia and all eyes are on him/her, especially with India set to tour England for five Tests in the summer . he/she will return but the team will not include senior players Abhishek Sharma and Arshdeep Singh, who have been selected in India’s T20 squad for the five-match series against England starting January 22 in Kolkata. Gill played for Punjab in the last Participated in the Ranji Trophy 2022 once, when they played the quarter-finals against Madhya Pradesh in Aloor.

Gill was a flop on Australia tour

The Australia tour showed the mirror to Shubman Gill, who is counted among the most talented cricketers of the country. Gill was among the players who had a disappointing performance in Australia, where he/she scored 31 runs in five innings. During this time, he/she also suffered a finger injury and did not play in the first match of the series in Perth. he/she scored at an average of 18.60 in the series. he/she was not even selected in India’s XI for the Boxing Day Test. Ranji Round Up from January 23 is a litmus test for many batsmen because if runs are not scored here, they may have to play domestic cricket for many seasons ahead.
