puneet28 Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Quote India batsman Yuvraj Singh has been ruled out of the World T20 following the ankle injury that he sustained while batting against Australia in the Super 10 game in Mohali. Manish Pandey has been named as his replacement in the 15-man squad. Source tweaker 1
profster Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Source: http://www.wisdenindia.com/cricket-news/injured-yuvraj-ruled-out-pandey-comes-in/206277 Could be a blessing in disguise if Manish gets to play. Or Dhoni might prefer to open with Rahane and drop Dhawan/Rohit down. It just got interesting :-)
Forever Indian Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 A sad way to end for Yuvraj's International career... Adi_91 1

With bulk of the matches after IPL being tests..don't think he will be called back. And he himself should call it time even though I think his performance has been good. tweaker 1

Ultimate_Game Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Hopefully Pandey will slot in the middle order )preferably at 4) instead of Rahane and Raina wil be pushed down to 5.
Forever Indian Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 If I were Dhoni I would open with Pandey in place of Dhawan and have Negi in place of Yuvi. But as I am not Dhoni and Dhoni is Dhoni, he will replace Yuvi with Rahane and play him at no. 4 where he is a clear misfit. tweaker 1

If Rahane is preferred over Pandey, then Rahane has to open and have Rohit down to 4. Rohit used to bat in middle order and still does in IPL so he's used to it. Rahane OTOH can only contribute as an opener. tweaker 1
sandeep Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Damn, this means that we will rely more on Pandya's bowling than we would if Yuvi was around. That is bad news. Windies sloggers will murder this kid's bowling.... G_B_ 1
Adi_91 Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 To me, its a loss. Now we most likely have to bear with Rahane in the semis.

fineleg Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Cannot lose part-time option of Yuvi. Replace Dhawan with Manish Pandey. Replace Yuvi with Negi (so we can get 2 overs if needed). Dhoni will instead do a more crazy swap of Rahane for Yuvi, or Pandey for Yuvi. Edited March 30, 2016 by fineleg
bowl_out Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Negi will play instead of Yuvi.. with mostly right hand bats in the WI line up, Negi makes a lot of sense
Ranjha Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 Big loss but now that he is out, Negi should play. G_B_ 1
Nash Posted March 30, 2016 Posted March 30, 2016 nice. we had issue with batting since god knows when. I hope this change will give some more batting power to our fragile batting.
