With the start of the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy season, excitement is building among sports fans regarding the match between Assam and Punjab. Just before the match, a major blow has come for the Punjab team. It has been confirmed that international star batsman Shubman Gill will not be available for this match.
The absence of an experienced and in-form player like Shubman Gill is undoubtedly a big loss for Punjab. Although Punjab is ready to start its campaign in this prestigious domestic cricket tournament, the team's strategy will have to be changed without Gill. This could be considered a major opportunity for the Assam bowlers.
