In a shocking turn of events during the Ranji Trophy 2024-25Punjab were bowled out for just 55 runs in their first innings against Karnataka at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Thursday, January 23. This dismal total marks Punjab’s lowest score in the last 46 years, setting an unwanted record for the captain. Shubman Gill and his team.
Punjab’s disastrous innings
Punjab’s batting line-up crumbled under the pressure, with only two players managing to reach double figures. Gill, who has been struggling for form, was dismissed for just 4 runs off 8 balls, trapped behind the bowling. Abhilash Shetty. His dismissal was part of a disastrous start that saw Punjab falter at 14/4 early in their innings. The team’s collapse was swift and brutal, with the Karnataka players exploiting the conditions effectively.
Ramandeep Singh (16) and Markande Mayank (12) showed some resilience for Punjab, but their 18-run partnership could not prevent a disappointing collapse, with the team bowled out in just 29 overs.
Vasuki Koushik and Shetty led the Karnataka attack, claiming four and three wickets respectively. The rest of the players also played their part effectively, ensuring that Punjab’s innings ended before it could gain momentum.
