Who needs [the hero of] Gautam when you have Robin?
Well, we just had to do that. Robin Uthappa continued his fine form with an incredible innings today as well. He has been among the best performers of this year’s IPL and is continuing the tradition of openers’ superb showing in this year’s IPL.
In a sense, he is the unluckiest player in India right now as almost every opener under the Indian Sun is in fine form.
As Gambhir failed to make an impact today, which is a rare showing in itself, he stood up to make 72 runs in 52 balls and give them the perfect start to chase a total of 187 runs. His innings might have gone in vain, as the middle order of KKR imploded, but it was still a very strong statement of intent.
