Shahrukh and Sai Kishore played a huge part in Tamil Nadu’s victorious campaign
Rising T20 sensation M. Shahrukh Khan and his Tamil Nadu State-mate, orthodox left-arm spinner R. Sai Kishore, will be joining the Indian white-ball team as stand-by players for the upcoming six-match series against the West Indies.
Both Shahrukh and Sai Kishore played a huge part in Tamil Nadu’s victorious campaign and their call-up is more of a precautionary measure in COVID-19 times when there is every possibility of a player from the main squad testing positive.
“Yes, Shahrukh and Sai Kishore have been called as stand bys for the Windies series. They will also enter the bubble with main team players,” a senior BCCI official confirmed.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
