Just before the crucial Semi-finals stage, Indian Cricket team has suffered a major blow as Yuvraj Singh will be ruled out from the rest of the games as he twisted his ankle during the match against Australia.
During his short stay of 18 balls, Yuvi suffered from pain and he was not able to run properly between the wickets. India will take on West Indies on March 31st at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
Yuvi is now replaced by Manish Pandey and we are not given clear idea on his injury. Yuvi played a crucial role by bowling 3 overs and also picking the important wicket of Steve Smith. He also scored 21 runs of 18 balls. Manish Pandey who has been the replacement is also a good choice and he has a sound IPL experience.
He is also an exceptional fielder. He is also doing consistently in the domestic circuit. However chances are high for Rahane to fill in the void of Yuvraj Singh for the upcoming clash with West Indies. The first Semi-finals between England and New Zealand will be played tomorrow.
