Gill struggles as Punjab collapse for 55, Karnataka take command in Ranji Trophy
Skipper Gill’s poor effort had a cascading effect on Punjab’s innings as they crumbled for a paltry 55 in their first essay. Smaran, who used all his technical nous, then made an unbeaten 83 (100b, 12x4s, 1×6) as Karnataka reached 199 for 4 when stumps were drawn on Day 1.
