Crossword Genius

Yours truly during game had fruit (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pomelo

'fruit' is the definition.
(pomelo is a kind of fruit)

'yours truly during game' is the wordplay.
'yours truly' becomes 'me'.
'during' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'game' becomes 'polo' (polo is a kind of game).
'me' inserted into 'polo' is 'POMELO'.

'had' is the link.

(Other definitions for pomelo that I've seen before include "Largest citrus fruit" , "Shaddock" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
