Mohali's Yuvraj Singh blamed his injuries for his diving technique while fielding going "haywire".

"It's just unfortunate that I've got these injuries in the last four months. Hopefully, you know, next coming...we've got a very important year for the Indian team, and should not be getting injured this year, fingers crossed," said Yuvraj.

"It's just been happening in the last year only. I don't know, I think my technique of diving has gone a bit haywire or something," he added.

"Last four months have been frustrating and I had a bit of finger injuries and a thumb injury and now a wrist injury.

"So it's been pretty bad with injuries but done my best to get back into shape and it's feeling good now so just need to get into the match scenario," he said.

"I've been lagging behind six months now. I've been injured a lot. And it's been very frustrating sitting out, and I really want to get really fit and have a good year this time."

"When things are not right on the field, you become aggressive sometimes, sometimes it gets the best out of you, sometimes it gets the worst out of you, but captaincy is a challenge and when you're captaining a tournament for 40 days, it's actually, you look forward to it," he said.

"Sangakkara is a great person. He understands all the local players, he takes feedback from everyone, especially Mahela and myself, and when Brett Lee is there as well, he's been captaining the Sri Lankan team for a while now, so he's done a great job for Sri Lanka and I hope he does a great job for Mohali as well."
