In the fifth and final ODI played between the two sides in Lucknow, while batting on 30, Kaur sustained a hip injury in the 31st over and had to retire hurt. She didn’t take the field for the rest of the game.
“She has been ruled out of tomorrow’s match and rest of the updates on her injury will be given by the medical team and the team management,” Mandhana said on the eve of the first T20I. “It will be better for them to speak about it rather than me.”
IND-W vs SA-W: Mandhana, 24, has led India in four T20Is, her maiden bow as captain having come in March 2019, where she filled in for an injured Kaur in the three-match T20I series against a visiting England side in Guwahati. India suffered a whitewash in that assignment, but in her next stint as captain, in November that year, she led the T20I side to a convincing win against hosts West Indies.
