#2 Robin Uthappa
The Kolkata Knight Riders opening batsman, Robin Uthappa has had a decent season this year, scoring 358 runs in 13 matches, managing a highest score of 72 at an average of 27.53. The wicket-keeper batsman was the Orange cap winner for KKR in 2014, with 660 runs.
He has shown improvement behind the stumps by not giving away too many extras this year, taking eight catches and 3 stumpings. In the domestic fifty overs format, Uthappa has been exceptionally good and has a mammoth 5642 runs in 163 innings.
In spite of his great run in domestic cricket, he has not been given enough chances to display his skills in the Blue jersey. The tour of Zimbabwe would be the best platform for the 30-year-old to make a comeback into the Indian side.
