Rajasthan Royals' (RR) Robin Uthappa, has not had a pleasant outing in the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), however, he changed that when he came as an opener against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).
The batsman scored 41 off just 22 balls. In his innings he smashed 7 fours and a six and reached the 4500-run mark in IPL.
The innings gave fans a glimpse of the Uthappa that used to bat alongside Gautam Gambhir for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Yuzvendra Chahal tossed up outside off and Uthappa went for the big slog-sweep. However, his cameo came to an end. The ball doesn't get anywhere near the middle of the bat and plenty of height does not get the distance. Aaron Finch settled under it at deep mid-wicket and went reverse cup and held on. It was the much-needed breakthrough for RCB.
