Note that each entry terminates with a “.” (dot) unless it’s an ip address. Note the blank line on the last line.
Take care to replace the ips with those of yours.
The additional part required for Gapps is:
mydomain.tld. IN MX 10 aspmx.l.google.com. mydomain.tld. IN MX 20 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com. mydomain.tld. IN MX 20 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com. mydomain.tld. IN MX 30 aspmx2.googlemail.com. mydomain.tld. IN MX 30 aspmx3.googlemail.com. mydomain.tld. IN MX 30 aspmx4.googlemail.com.
Without Gapps, it is:
mydomain.tld. IN SOA ns1.joel.co.in. admin.mydomain.tld. (
