Indian rower Sayali Shelake, who is part of the Asian Games contingent here, has been hospitalised after she complained of pain in the abdomen.
"She was complaining of pain since midnight yesterday. After competition today, I had to rush her to the hospital. The doctors say there is some appendicitis issue. She will have to stay back for another two-three days," chief coach Ismail Baig told PTI.
The rowing competition ended today with India winning three medals, including a gold in men's quadruple sculls.
The entire contingent will be leaving tomorrow but 21-year-old Shelke will be staying back for treatment.
"Our two doctors will stay with her. We are not leaving her alone. We hope she is fine soon," said Baig.
Shelke had competed in the final of the women's double sculls alongside Pooja. They both had finished sixth.
