King XI Punjab skipper Yuvraj Singh was all smiles after his team beat the Rajasthan Royals and after striking form ahead of semi-finals.
Yuvraj hit a 16-ball 49-run knock, which helped his team get past the 200-run mark.
"It was nice to beat Rajasthan Royals team, who are at top of the table. I was in good form in the last Twenty20 World Cup but here I was not getting my timing earlier," Yuvraj said.
Intervening in between Punjab coach Tom Moody said, "I don't think Yuvi has been out of form. I would say he has not had the opportunities because Marsh and Sangakkara are in good form. It is really difficult to assess form in such situations".
Yuvraj also praised Shaun Marsh, who came up with a match-winning 115 run-knock.
"It was great to watch him bat. He did not slog at all and played cricketing shots."
On being asked about his team's chances in the semi-final against Chennai Super Kings, Yuvraj said, "They have beaten us twice and we will be looking to settle the score with them. We need to assess our plans before we take them on".
