"The one man show", "Just one man army"- Fans laud Shubman Gill for scoring 102 while batting with tailenders in Ranji Trophy 2025 match

Punjab captain Shubman Gill scored a magnificent century for his state team in their recently-concluded Ranji Trophy 2024-2025 match against Karnataka. In the second innings where Punjab managed only 213 runs, Gill fought like a lone warrior, scoring 102 runs.

The right-hander returned to Ranji Trophy for the first time since 2022. Although the Punjab skipper failed to make his presence felt in the first innings, he bounced back with a century in the second innings.

Opening the batting for Punjab, Shubman Gill scored 102 off 171 balls. None of the other batters even touched the 30-run mark, while four out of the team's top eight batters got out in single digits. At one stage, the team's score was 84/6.

The captain joined hands with lower-order batters Mayank Markande and Sukhdeep Bajwa to help Punjab finish with 213 runs eventually.

Praising Gill for his knock, a popular X user wrote:

"The one man show for Punjab at the Chinnaswamy Stadium."

Another X user pointed out how this century was much-needed for Gill after his disappointing show in the series against Australia.

"To everyone who was doubting Gill in ODIs by using current form agendas. Gill has buried you all with a quality 100 in Ranji Trophy. When his team was struggling & he had no one but tailenders with him," the X user wrote.
