ICC World Twenty20: Manish Pandey likely to replace injured Yuvraj Singh in the semi-finals

Yuvraj Singh, who injured his ankle, during India's six-wicket win over Australia yesterday at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali is likely to make way for Manish Pandey in ICC World Twenty20 semi-finals vs West Indies on Thursday.
Yuvraj battled on bravely and partnered Virat Kohli for a 45-run stand and chipped in with a useful 21 off 18 balls.
However, he has been largely out of form with the bat scoring only 52 runs from four matches in this tournament.
His injury could be a dramatic call-up for Pandey who smashed a scintillating hundred for India against Australia in the final ODI of the five-match series at the Sydney Cricket Ground earlier this year.
Ajinkya Rahane, who was warming the bench so far, is also back in focus ahead of the all-important clash.
Sources in the BCCI said that Yuvraj, who sustained an ankle injury when setting off for a run against Australia at Mohali, went for a MRI scan soon after arriving here with the rest of the team members.
As per reliable sources, Yuvraj had gone for MRI scan on arrival. The senior batsman is doing his rehab and medical staff is confident that he might be fit for semi-final
In case Yuvraj doesn't recover fully in time for the last-four game, either Rahane or Pandey might find a place in the playing XI on March 31.
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, speaking after the six-wicket win on Sunday night, said he is open to changes in the playing XI if the conditions demand.
"I don't know whether we should make changes but it is possible, depending on the wicket. We have to see Yuvraj's injury as well. We would definitely like to have a replacement ready if the physio says his injury is bad," he said.Source:today news
