S Sreesanth was in the thick of action yet again when he unintentionally hit teammate Yuvraj Singh on the helmet with a beamer during the India's practice session at M Chinnaswamy stadium here yesterday.

"Arre, tu pagal hain kya? Kya ball fekta hain," a livid Yuvraj Singh screamed at the Kerala seamer. As Yuvraj sat down at the crease holding his head, the entire team rushed towards him. Fortunately, the left-hander suffered no serious injury. Sreesanth then apologised profusely to the left-hander.

Later, Yuvraj confirmed he didn't suffer any major injury. "I am absolutely ok now. There was no injury at all," he told MiD DAY. "Today I realised how concerned the media is about me. I want to say to the media, 'I love you too.' "

Sreesanth explained: "I was trying to bowl a yorker. But suddenly the ball slipped from my hand. Thank God, Yuvibhai is ok."

India's Virender Sehwag fit to face England in World Cup group match

Virender Sehwag will be fit to face England in India's second World Cup Group B match on Sunday, despite suffering a minor rib injury in the nets on Friday.
India's dashing opener, who began the tournament by scoring a career-best 175 against Bangladesh last Sunday, was hit while batting during his team's practice.
The India team manager, Ranjib Biswal, described it as merely a "precautionary measure" that Sehwag took no further part in the nets session.
It was later confirmed he has suffered only minor bruising. His team-mate Yuvraj Singh, who took a blow to his hand in practice yesterday, has also been passed fit to take on England.
