Uthappa has been with the Kolkata team since the 2014 edition of the league and his contribution as a batsman has been valuable for the team. He has scored 1806 runs in 58 matches that he has played for the franchise over the previous 4 seasons.

He carries little experience as a captain, captaining India A team on tour of Australia in 2013. Kolkata Knight Riders used their Right to Match card to retain Uthappa at a price of Rs. 6.4 crore.
