Shubman Gill and Shardul Thakur excel in Ranji, while India prepares for a crucial T20I against England.

Shubman Gill is poised to continue his innings for Punjab, resuming at 7 against Karnataka in the Ranji Trophy. Karnataka has established a commanding 420-run lead after posting 475 in their first innings. Meanwhile, Maharashtra`s Ruturaj Gaikwad made a significant impact with a brisk 89, further extending his team`s advantage over Baroda. In another thrilling encounter, Mumbai`s Shardul Thakur scored a century, propelling his team to a crucial lead against Jammu and Kashmir.

As the cricketing spotlight shifts to the T20I series, India gears up for the second match against England at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. The team faces a potential setback with Abhishek Sharma`s ankle injury during training, casting doubt on his participation. India`s likely playing XI features key players such as Sanju Samson, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Arshdeep Singh, with Mohammed Shami possibly stepping in for Ravi Bishnoi. The Chepauk pitch is expected to favor spinners, suggesting minimal changes to the lineup.

England, looking to bounce back after a strong showing from Jofra Archer and Mark Wood in the first T20I, will aim to capitalize on any weaknesses in the Indian side. The stage is set for an exciting clash as both teams vie for supremacy in this high-stakes series. For more insights, check out the latest cricket news and the T20I series preview.
