Gill, Jadeja to Play Ranji Trophy Amidst Poor Form, T20 World Cup Snub

• Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja are expected to play in the Ranji Trophy for their respective state teams, Punjab and Saurashtra.
• The move comes after India's ODI series defeat to New Zealand and concerns over Jadeja's recent poor performance.
• Both players are not part of India's 2026 T20 World Cup squad, suggesting a focus on red-ball cricket or a push to regain form.
• Jadeja scored only 43 runs and took no wickets in the recent ODI series, raising questions about his future in limited-overs cricket.
• Their teams, Saurashtra and Punjab, are struggling in Group B of the Ranji Trophy, with only one win each in their last five matches.

Why It Matters: Gill and Jadeja will play Ranji Trophy, possibly due to poor form and T20 World Cup exclusion.
