Picture India game being thrown (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

image

'picture' is the definition.
(I know that picture can be written as image)

'india game being thrown' is the wordplay.
'india' becomes 'i' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'being thrown' indicates an anagram.
'game' is an anagram of 'mage'.
'i'+'mage'='IMAGE'

(Other definitions for image that I've seen before include "Visual or mental representation" , "Metaphor; figure" , "Representation, picture" , "Figure (of speech?)" , "Mental picture; metaphor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
