One of the fittest sportsperson in the circuit, Sindhu had suffered a stress fracture on her left foot on way to her maiden Commonwealth Games gold medal in Birmingham in August.

Shreyas ton, Kishan's 93 help hosts hunt down South Africa's 278RANCHI: With most of his much-fancied and illustrious India teammates busy warming up in Perth in the lead-up to the upcoming T20 World Cup Down Under, home boy Ishan Kishan grabbed the opportunity to hog the limelight at the floodlit JSCA International Stadium here on Sunday. AS IT HAPPENEDChasing 279 on a track that was a bit on the slower side, but without any demons in it, the southpaw started off patiently and, once set, took the aggressive route, blazing away to 93 off 84 balls with four boundaries and seven sixes. Shreyas Iyer resumed from where he had left off in the last match (50) and played the anchor's role to perfection to take India home to a series-levelling seven-wicket win with 25 balls to spare. In the process, the Mumbai cricketer notched up his second ODI century. It was his fifth 50-plus score in the last six ODI innings.

The weather situation on Saturday here much resembled the condition of the Indian teams – the one that has left for the T20 World Cup and the ‘second-string’ side playing the ongoing ODI series against South Africa. With each passing day, injury concerns grow for the team management. This series may not be as significant from India’s point of view, given that the first-choice players are already training Down Under. However, in terms of finding Jasprit Bumrah’s replacement for the ICC mega event, the ODI series could have been the ideal stage. Even as it looks like Mohammed Shamiis the first-choice replacement for Bumrah, Deepak Chahar has impressed with his fine bowling in the T20I series. That could have just proved to be enough for the management to think of Chahar’s case if Shami misses the bus.
Team India is currently gearing up for the upcoming T20 World Cup in Australia, starting October 16.

BCCI on Saturday shared a video of an interaction between Yuzvendra Chahal, Harshal Patel, Deepak Hooda and Arshdeep Singh.
