Ranji Trophy Day 1 Live Score: Punjab 41/0 vs Chhattisgarh; Deshpande strikes early for MUM vs HP; UTK 10/1 vs TN

The second round of the Ranji Trophy 2026-27 kicked off with early drama across multiple fixtures. Punjab’s innings began strongly, reaching 41/0 in their match against Chhattisgarh, while Mumbai’s opener, Deshpande, set the tone with a quickfire start against Himachal Pradesh.

Meanwhile, Uttarakhand’s early momentum faltered as Tamil Nadu’s pacers struck early, reducing them to 10/1 with Gurjapneet Singh and Saravana Kumar dominating the overcast conditions. In another match, Gujarat’s Harshal Patel claimed his 250th first-class wicket, dismissing Sanat Sangwan, while Priyansh Arya accelerated to his half-century in just 55 balls for Gujarat against Delhi, who were at 87/2.

Hyderabad, meanwhile, remained unbeaten at 65/0 after 17 overs in their game against Andhra, with the heat proving a challenge for their opponents’ bowlers. Bengal’s squad for their match against Services notably excluded Mohammed Shami, leaving the team without one of India’s most experienced fast bowlers.
