Robin Uthappa: News

When Robin Uthappa is in form, there are hardly any players who can match his skill set. He was not just a hard-hitting batsman. He had all the shots in the book and some that are not even in the book as well. He played with a fluidity that made it hard for the spectators to look at anything but him. All he lacked was the temperament that would have taken him to the next level. Uthappa made his first-class debut for Karnataka in the 2002-2003 season He first came into the spotlight after scoring a fluid fifty for India B against an India A attack that had the ilk of Zaheer Khan, RP Singh, and Murali Kartik in 2005. He booked a spot in the Indian team after scoring a hundred against India A in the 2006 Challenger Trophy. Uthappa made his international debut in an ODI against England in 2006. He was part of the Indian team that won the 2007 ICC World T20. His inability to convert good starts into big scores made it hard for him to hold onto a spot in the team consistently.
