  To extract the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix element $|V_{ub}|$, we
have re-analyzed all the available inputs (data and theory) on the $B\to\pi
l\nu$ decays including the newly available inputs on the form-factors from
light cone sum rule (LCSR) approach. We have reproduced and compared the
results with the procedure taken up by the Heavy Flavor Averaging Group
(HFLAV), while commenting on the effect of outliers on the fits. After removing
the outliers and creating a comparable group of data-sets, we mention a few
scenarios in the extraction of $|V_{ub}|$. In all those scenarios, the
extracted values of $|V_{ub}|$ are higher than that obtained by HFLAV. Our best
results for $|V_{ub}|^{exc.}$ are $(3.88 \pm 0.13)\times 10^{-3}$ and $(3.87
\pm 0.13)\times 10^{-3}$ in frequentist and Bayesian approaches, respectively,
which are consistent with that extracted from inclusive decays $|V_{ub}|^{inc}$
within $1~\sigma$ confidence interval.
