About Robin Uthappa
Robin Uthappa is a former India batter and one of the most recognisable voices in cricket commentary today. Born in 1985 and raised in Bengaluru, he was an attacking opener and middle-order batter famous for walking down the pitch to fast bowlers. He played a key role in India’s 2007 T20 World Cup win and later became one of the most consistent run-scorers in IPL history.
Career highlights
Robin made a memorable ODI debut against England in April 2006, scoring 86, then the highest score by an Indian on limited-overs debut. At the 2007 World Twenty20 he played important innings and famously took part in the “bowl-out” against Pakistan, hitting the stumps as India won.
He was the highest run-scorer in the 2014–15 Ranji Trophy season and the leading run-scorer in the 2014 IPL, which he won with Kolkata Knight Riders. He also won the 2021 IPL with Chennai Super Kings. He retired from all cricket in September 2022 and has since become a popular commentator and analyst.
