World T20: Yuvraj Singh's injury puts focus back on Ajinkya Rahane

Ajinkya Rahane is back in focus ahead of India's semifinal against the West Indies after Yuvraj Singh twisted his ankle in the ICC World T20 match against Australia.
Rahane, who is yet to get a game in the tournament, could find himself playing at his home-ground in Mumbai if Yuvraj doesn't recover fully in time for the last-four game on March 31. (Manish Pandey likely to replace injured Yuvraj Singh in the semifinal )
Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, speaking after the six-wicket win on Sunday, 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.
The team management is assessing Yuvraj's condition. The southpaw, who was dismissed on 21, was in pain after twisting his ankle and had to be attended by the physio in the middle. Rahane should be match ready if the need arises and even before the Australia game, he had an extended session at the nets of the I S Bindra Stadium.
Shane Watson, who retired with the Mohali loss, was asked about his former IPL teammate Rahane not finding a place in the XI.
"Jinks (Rahane) I think is a very good player. But where do you fit him with the quality of Indian batting line-up? He certainly knows how to score in all conditions," Watson had said.Source:today news
