MP replaces Yuvraj Singh for T20 Semi Final
X
Ahead of Semi Final against West Indies, India received a major setback in the form of Yuvraj Singh's injury. The left-hander has been ruled out of ICC World T20 due to an tinkle injury.

During the T20 Match at Mohali, Yuvraj Singh suffered an ankle injury while batting and struggled to run between the wickets. He got out on 21 and Shane Watson deserves the credit for a stunning catch.

Right-handed batsman Manish Pandey has been called up as Yuvraj's replacement for rest of the ICC World T20 matches. The Event Technical Committee of ICC approved Manish Pandey's inclusion in the Team India squad.

Pandey hogged the limelight after powering India to victory in the 5th ODI against Australia at Sydney early this year. Yuvraj's injury has been a blessing in disguise for Pandey.

Team India director Ravi Shastri said Yuvraj Singh will be missed. He also told Kohli is the most hard-working cricketer in the squad.
