Saurashtra are playing Punjab in the Ranji Semi final at Rajkot.They had lost the match up with Punjab at the league stage and would find it difficult to offer strong fight to Punjab.Punjab are without Yuvraj Singh.Jiwanjot Singh is in such good form that Yuvraj will hardly be missed. Saurashtra however will miss their runmachines, Pujara and Jadeja.The duo are in the one day team for the ongoing One day serie against England.Ravindra Jadeja is doing a star turn out there and his bsence here is reasonable.However, Pujara does not make the final XI and is hardly likely to play in Ranchi. The management ought to have released Pujara to play the semi final unless they want to replace Gambhir at Ranchi.
It is first time in many years that Ranji Trophy is attracting attention it desrves and the Board should have scheduiled the semifinals after the England series to allow Indian players to get into shape before the Australian series..Saurashtra playing without Pujara is like Hamlet being staged without the Prnice of Denmark
