The Indian pacer was picked for a random dope test during the training session ahead of India's opener against South Africa.

Jasprit Bumrah was called for a random dope test during India’s training session ahead of the game against South Africa.

The Indian players may have had issues with NADA conducted dope tests but at the global event, there's no such problem.

On Monday, it was the turn of premier Indian pacer, who was picked up for the random test conducted by the WADA accredited agency. There is no specific system that is followed and it could be anybody who could be called for providing their urine sample.

The Indian team continued their training as per the schedule, however.

Rohit Sharma in full flow was a treat to watch even during training sessions and the Indian bowlers were seen getting a taste of their vice-captain's touch ahead of the first game against South Africa.

Rohit looked in perfect control as he hooked Mohammed Shami behind square and Khaleel Ahmed was pulled in-front of square as they both tried to test him with short balls. But the maximum punishment was reserved for Yuzvendra Chahal, who was dispatched into stands on more than one occasion.

However, there was a fleeting moment of scare when he started taking throwdowns at the other net where a ball took off awkwardly and hit him on the gloves. For a couple of minutes, he seemed in some pain as the support staff rushed to check on him. It seemed fine as he continued batting without any discomfort after that.
