These are the moments that make you respect a side like Karnataka. Not just for producing match-winners for India over decades, but for the sustained dominance and winning culture they’ve built in the domestic circuit. Punjab, without doubt, has produced some absolute match-winners for the country. But the consistency, domination & title-winning legacy at the domestic level is still something to aspire to. As a cricket fan who comes from the incredible land of Punjab, I genuinely wish to see the state grow into a powerhouse like this one day in all formats, not only in white-ball. #PUNvKAR #RanjiTrophy #IndianDomesticCricket

Picking 20 wickets consistently is the real challenge! Draw vs Andhra without bowling them out even chance, has given us only 1 point, even after piling up close to 600 runs. But can’t really say much, our bowling unit is still very young and inexperienced at this level. Plus, Hyderabad's (brilliant) 1-wicket win over Chhattisgarh has made the Top 2 race even tougher for us. Only result going our way was Tripura beating Saurashtra. #HYDvCHH #RanjiTrophy #PUNvAP #GroupB #TRIvSAU

Absolutely brilliant fightback from Pukhraj Mann! Unbeaten 1️⃣5️⃣3️⃣ off 326 balls, batting through the day to save the game for Himachal after they were 83/4. Mukul Negi 82(159) and Arpit Guleria 31(88)* provided excellent support from the other end. Display of grit, patience and resilience. #PukhrajMann #HPvRAJ #RanjiTrophy

Make it 4️⃣ out of 4️⃣ now! Punjab’s batting has been on a roll this season and no surprise that, most hundreds are made by Punjab batters, so far. Vs Assam: 478/6d Vs Chhattisgarh: 456 Vs Hyderabad: 431 Vs Andhra: 592/9d Shout-out to @pcacricket and the team management for this turnaround in red-ball cricket and for backing young players. @gurkeeratmann22 #RanjiTrophy #PUNvAP #PunjabCricket

Emanjot Chahal continues his good run, converts into another century! 1️⃣2️⃣2️⃣ at No.8, Smashed 9️⃣sixes & 7️⃣fours His 2️⃣nd FC century, both came in this season. #Emanjot #PUNvAP #RanjiTrophy

And he makes it DOUBLE HUNDRED! 💯 💯 2️⃣0️⃣5️⃣ NOT OUT! Reaches there in style with a maximum! What a special feeling this must be for him! Coming in at 71/5, he has turned the game around and put Punjab in a commanding position. To do this in first game of the season makes it even more special, takes some effort! So well deserved, Sanvir! ❤🙌🏻 #SanvirSingh #PUNvAP #RanjiTrophy

Emanjot Chahal turning out to be valuable lower-order asset for Punjab at No.7/8 His 3rd fifty-plus score (incl 1 hundred) in just 11 innings! Most impressive thing is he reads the situation well. Know when to build an innings, stitch partnerships and when to shift gears & attack! #Emanjot #PUNvAP #RanjiTrophy #ranjitrophy2026

Maiden 1️⃣5️⃣0️⃣ plus score for Sanvir Singh! And he gets there batting at No. 7! Converts his 2nd FC century into a big one. Also, this is first time in Ranji Trophy history that both No.6️⃣ & No.7️⃣ scored centuries in same innings! Punjab firmly in the driver's seat at 375/6. #SanvirSingh #PUNvAP #RanjiTrophy

INDIA A SQUAD FOR THE 50-OVER RISING STARS ASIA CUP IS OUT! 🇮🇳 🔹 Priyansh Arya's omission is surprising! Got just one game against Australia A, scored 49(45), and hasn't done much wrong with his limited opportunities. 🔹 Abhishek Sharma returns to the India A one-day setup! Interesting to see him alongside Vaibhav Sooryavanshi in a 50-over tournament. 🔹 Only Tilak Varma (C) & Kumar Kushagra feature from India's ODI squad for the NZ series. No Ruturaj Gaikwad or Naman Dhir, despite the ODI series ending on November 15. 🔹 Good to see Harshit Rana back in the mix after his injury setback! Tanush Kotian & Shahbaz Ahmed also return to the India A one-day setup. 🔹 Rinku Singh's inclusion is a welcome one! Arshad Khan retains his place too, offering that valuable left-arm pace-bowling all-round option. 🔹 Gurjapneet Singh misses out, despite taking 3 wickets in the last ODI against Australia A. Yash Thakur is also absent, although he's part of India's NZ ODI squad. 🔹 Quite a reshuffle from the Australia A ODIs! Four spin options in Shahbaz, Harsh Dubey, Tanush & Vipraj. Clearly plenty of emphasis on all-round depth. An exciting squad, but some interesting omissions. What do you make of these selections? 🤔 #IndiaA #RisingStarsAsiaCup #AsiaCup #vaibhavsuryavanshi #abhisheksharma #priyansharya #rinkusingh #harshitrana

Sanvir Singh also brings up his century now! And what a time to bring up his 2nd First-Class hundred! Punjab were struggling at 71/5. Now 276/5, thanks to a magnificent 205-run unbeaten stand with Salil Arora!👏 Interestingly, Sanvir's maiden FC hundred also came against Andhra, on his First-Class debut! #SanvirSingh #PUNvAP #RanjiTrophy

100 plus partnership & still going strong 💪🏻 🤞 Salil Arora (64*) & Sanvir Singh (52*) lead Punjab's fightback after an early collapse against Andhra! 🏏 Salil: 4th 50+ score of the season, incl 3 centuries! Incredible consistency 🏏 Sanvir: Playing his first game of the season, delivering a crucial knock under pressure From 71/5 to 177/5. Brilliant recovery and the partnership is still growing! 👏 #SalilArora #SanvirSingh #PUNvAP #RanjiTrophy

No Sahil Bhaskar or Gurwinder Bhullar Sahil Bhaskar was the highest wicket taker in this year Sher-E-Punjab. 20 wickets in 10 games at strike rate of less than 10 with best bowling figures of 6/16. #SahilBhaskar #SMAT

4 MATCHES. 4 TIMES BATTING FIRST FOR PUNJAB! 🏏 Andhra win the toss and elect to bowl. 🔄 Three changes to Punjab's XI: 🔼 IN: Sanvir Singh, Sukhdeep Bajwa, Gursimran Singh (RAMP) - Debut 🔽 OUT: Harnoor Pannu, Harjas Tandon, Umesh Yadav (probably injured) Interesting calls: 🔹 Prabhsimran opens alongside Vihaan, his 3rd different batting position in as many matches! 🔹 Punjab opt for an extra pace option, with Sukhdeep Bajwa replacing off-spinner Harjas Tandon. Punjab XI: Prabh, Vihaan, Uday, Jashan, Salil, Ramandeep, Sanvir, Emanjot, Brar, Sukhdeep, Gursimran. #PUNvAP #RanjiTrophy #RanjiTrophy2026

South Africa are series winners! 🇿🇦 From an innings defeat in Durban to dominating Australia in the next two Tests. The Proteas have turned the series around in style. Rickelton (101) and Mulder (115) stood tall when it mattered. Then Simon Harmer’s 6/16 and Rabada’s fiery spell sealed a commanding 176-run win. A statement series victory. Test cricket at its finest! #SAvAUS #TestCricket #Harmer

India U19 Asia Cup squad 🇮🇳 14/15 players retained from the Australia series after a 3-0 sweep. Selectors have clearly backed continuity. Lakshya–Yashbardhan continue as the leadership duo. Really happy for Arjun Rajput & Ishan Sood after Punjab's Vinoo Mankad triumph! � Feel for Sagar Virk (match-winning 111 in the final), along with Umesh Gill & Sahibjotveer Singh (most wickets in VMT). Recent domestic form certainly made a case for them, but selectors have understandably backed continuity. Hopefully, their opportunities will come too given their age & year of U19 #IndiaU19 #U19AsiaCup

Following matches of Round 4 of the Ranji Trophy 2026-27, starting 1 November, will be live streamed on JioHotstar: 📺 🏏 🔹 Gujarat vs Kerala (Group C) 🔹 Uttar Pradesh vs Baroda (Group A) 🔹 Himachal Pradesh vs Rajasthan (Group D) #RanjiTrophy #RanjiTrophy2026 #GUJvKER #UPvBRD #HPvRAJ #IndianCricket #Round4

Another fifty for Uday Saharan! 👏 Uday remained unbeaten on 55 (106) in 3rd innings before Punjab declared, setting Hyderabad a target of 293. 302 runs in 5 innings so far this season, averaging 100 (with 2 not-outs), at 60.4 runs per innings. Punjab could arguably have batted longer or taken an outside chance of bowling Hyderabad out in one session. #UdaySaharan #HYDvPUN #RanjiTrophy

Vihaan Malhota brings his 2nd 50+ FC score, after his crucial 4-fer in the 2nd innings of the game. Had unbeaten opening stand with Harnoor on Day 3 and followed by a 60-odd run stand with Prabhsimran today. Unfortunate to get out on the very next ball after his fifty 53(119). #VihaanMalhotra #HYDvPUN #RanjiTrophy
