Yuvraj Singh may be ruled out of the ICC World Twenty20 after he rolled his ankle during India's chase against Australia in Mohali on Sunday.

According to media reports, news from the dressing room suggests that Yuvraj's injury is not showing signs of quick improvement, and Manish Pandey, who impressed with his performance in Australia, will take his place.

Yuvraj Singh twisted his ankle while hopping to fend off a delivery while batting against Australia. Despite treatment by the physio, Yuvraj continued to struggle for the rest of his innings and was out for 21. India won the match by six wickets after Virat Kohli smashed a 51-ball 82.

Manish Pandey made a match-winning century in the 5th and final ODI against Australia in January to deny them a 5-0 whitewash, and is the first Indian batsman to hit a century in the Indian Premier League.

India next take on West Indies at Mumbai on March 31 in the semifinal.

If that makes you happy .... But Ind 1st over favorite players :winky:

For sure..India needs Yuvraj Singh in the middle especially considering the form of others..plus I don't support a change in team unless injured and unfit at any cost in a crucial semis...

Based on form, Panday is a better choice .... Also Panday is an excellent fielder

Couldn't have said it better! I want to see another tourney win for India than continuing with a "has been" just because he contributed to our tourney wins 5-10 years back.

Oh please...who is performing better than Yuvi? Is it raina, rohit or dhawan?

hisnperformance has only helped not hampered in any way..his bowling even made sure we were chasing 160 and not 175-180..

your posts are nonsensical...Yuvraj is not hampering India..he is helping India..

What form?

when was his last t20?

Form can be seen from any format not just T20 as long as the player is suitable for the particular format .... Do I need to remind you that Panday single handedly won Ind an ODI, while Yuvi is averaging less than 15 in this competition?

In fact I would not play Yuvi, Raina, etc. even if they guarantee a 50. There time is up: 

Overall figures

What has Pandey being doing in these last 2-3 weeks to show he is in form and ready for the all important semis?  He wasn't even included in Australia t20s and Asia cup,

If you remove their highest score, below is the average for some of the batsman with minimum 3 innings:

  • Yuvi = 9.33 
  • Dhawan = 6.66 
  • Raina = 3.66

Sure...keep tweeking with the statistics for your benefit lol

SF is not a place for Ind to see Yuvis and Rainas of the world have got their mojo back. They got their chances in the group games and messed up .... panday even if he scores a duck is the right choice .... As I said, Team Ind's interest first

Dude can you put your regional-centric (Punjab) view to side for once? Yes, Raina, Rohit and Dhawan aren't doing much at the moment but at least they have a more recent history of contributing than Yuvraj. Raina showed up in T20s in Aus and won us the SF in WT2014. He's one of the few guys (other than Pandya) who can go from ball one in case of a steep chase. As for Dhawan the guy showed up in CT2013, WC2015 and in Asia Cup final. Granted he's not the best opener for T20s but we can't do much with selection blunders. Lastly on to Rohit - the guy has been on a hot form throughout the Aus series (odis and T20s) and in the Asia Cup opener. You simply can't leave him out. All these players have shown they can perform based on recent past.

OTOH Yuvraj hasn't looked good since 2011 - that's 5 years! He's only good at supporting Kohli while chasing lowish totals. He can't play at a high SR and can't go ballistic from ball one which a no. 5 batsman is expected to do in T20s. And neither is he a good fielder anymore. I'm sorry but Yuvraj is a liability at this point and the sooner we realize it the better for India.
