Ranji Trophy Live: Ravindra Jadeja out for 7 as Shubman Gill's Punjab dominate

Recently crowned Vijay Hazare Trophy champions Vidarbha are in massive trouble against Andhra Pradesh. After opting to bat first, they go from 29/0 to 45/4 in no time. Former MI pacer S Raju has picked up all four wickets as he wreaks havoc. 

Aman Mokhade (21) and Atharva Taide (13) failed to convert starts, while youngster Danish Malewar got out for a duck. Samarth R also disappointed. Yash Rathod and Rohit Binkar are at the crease now. Nitish Kumar Reddy has bowled 2 maidens after bowling four overs so far. 

VID: 45/4 in 19 overs. 

Meanwhile, just like Saurashtra, Delhi have also lost 4 wickets! After Arya and Kandpal's dismissals, captain Ayush Badoni got run out, while Sanat Sangwan was deemed LBW by Ashish Choauhan. Youngster Ayush Doseja and Sumit Mathur at crease now. 

DEL: 34/3 after 15.3 overs.

The morning session of Day 1 has belonged to Shubman Gill's Punjab. Saurashtra's choice to bat first has backfired as they lose 4 wickets inside 17 overs. All the veterans, including Harvik Desai, Chirag Jani, Ajay Vasavada and Ravindra Jadeja, are back in the pavilion. Jadeja has been dismissed for 7 off 6 balls as Jass Inder gets him with Harpreet Brar taking his catch. 

SAU: 70/4 after 17 overs. 

Punjab have taken an early breakthrough in the form of Chirag Jani (8) as Sanvir Singh picks up the wicket. Jay Gohil now joins Harvik Desai on the crease. 

SAU: 24/1 after 6.4 overs.

Meanwhile, Delhi have also lost Priyansh Arya (9) early. Dev Aditya Singh with the wicket. Then, Sanat Sangwan was joined by Vaibhav Kandpal, who has also been dismissed for just 4 off 8 balls. Dev with the second wicket as Delhi get rocked early. 

DEL: 23/2 after 8 overs.

Another superb game on the cards is Karnataka vs Madhya Pradesh, with both teams eyeing the knockout spot. Rajat Patidar has won the toss and has elected to bat first. 

Another huge name that is in action today is Mohammed Siraj, who leads Hyderabad against Mumbai. Mumbai have been put to bat first by Siraj, who won the toss for Hyderabad. 

Delhi, who are all but ruled out of the tournament, eye some momentum to finish the disappointing campaign. Ayush Badoni, who was part of India's ODI series against New Zealand, returns to lead the side, while eyes will be on Priyansh Arya as well. Delhi opted to bat first in this game at BCCI CoE, Bengaluru. 

In the much-awaited Punjab vs Saurashtra game, which is being played in Rajkot, Jaydev Unadkat has won the toss and has elected to bat first. Gill lost the toss in the Ranji Trophy as well. 

Saurashtra Playing XI: Jaydev Unadkat (c), Harvik Desai (wk), Ajay Vasavada, Ravindra Jadeja, Prerak Mankad, Chirag Jani, Gajjar Sammar, D A Jadeja, Jay Gohil, Parth Bhut, H S Kotak

Punjab Playing XI: Shubman Gill (c), Prabhsimran Singh (wk), Harnoor Singh, Uday Saharan, Anmolpreet Singh, Sanvir Singh, Nehal Wadhera, Krish Bhagat, Jass Inder, Harpreet Brar, Prerit Dutta

SAU: 12/0 after 3.3 overs. 

Catch the qualification chances for all Ranji Trophy Elite teams. The tussle is hard, especially in Group B and Group C. Can Shubman Gill save Punjab's 2% chance?
