Overview

  • Punjab vs Sikkim at the Jaipuria Vidyalaya ground is being played without public entry, with only students and staff permitted and private bouncers deployed, officials said.
  • The match has no live TV or streaming, reflecting BCCI’s selective broadcast setup for concurrent Vijay Hazare ties across limited-equipped venues.
  • Gill and Arshdeep Singh were directed to feature for Punjab, but Gill was ruled out of the XI at the last minute due to food poisoning, according to Sportstar reports cited by Hindustan Times.
  • PTI reported that flight delays caused by North India’s weather affected Gill and Arshdeep’s arrivals in Jaipur on Friday night.
  • Gill had been slated to play on January 3 and again on January 6 in Jaipur before linking up with India’s ODI squad for the New Zealand series beginning January 11.
