5 moments from the RPS vs KKR match that don’t fade away

#5 Gambhir–Uthappa partnership

Uthappa and Gambhir took KKR to victory

KKR are the only IPL team whose two Indian batsmen – Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa – form a devastating partnership up the order. Although they haven’t been opening together this year, their good understanding was evident once again as the duo stitched together 158 runs.

The Gambhir-Uthappa pair scored the majority of the runs for KKR in 2012 and 2014, when the SRK co-owned franchise lifted the IPL trophy. Tonight, they showed that they can make it three as Uthappa scored a brilliant 87 from 47 balls, while Gambhir finished with 62 runs from 46 balls.
