New Delhi: Yuvraj Singh has not set the Indian Premier League on fire like he did at the Twenty20 World Cup but the Kings XI Punjab skipper is not losing sleep over his poor form.

Yuvraj admits he has not done enough with the bat so far in the tournament but insists everything is fine as long as the team keeps winning.

"I know I've not done anything special but it's not a concern for me. More importantly, the team is doing well and I just hope it continues doing well," the left-hander said on the eve of his side's IPL match against Delhi Daredevils here on Saturday.

According to him, had it been Test or one-day cricket, it could have been a reason to worry.

"This being Twenty20, I don't think it's that worrying. Of course I would have worried had it been Test or one-day cricket," he said.

The Punjab side discovered a match-winner in Shaun Marsh, son of former Australia opener Geoff Marsh, and Yuvraj lavished praise on the youngster who has been prolific since making his IPL debut.

"He has been performing really well. He did not get a chance at the start and when he had his chance, nobody knew how he would fare. Now he has shown it and I think it would have him even when he returns home. His confidence will be sky-high because he has played against the best bowlers of the world," Yuvraj said.
