Robin Uthappa has forged a solid partnership with Gambhir at the top and is also an experienced campaigner now. A pristine timer of the cricket ball, Uthappa has always captured attention of the audience and the the selectors. He has been a consistent run getter and also has the power game that is so essential in this shortest format.

The man from Karnataka has had a fruitful Ranji Trophy season and will look to continue his form into the IPL, where good performances might once again push him into national reckoning.

He has worked hard to improve his wicket-keeping skills and this dimension has given an extra edge over many players of the same age. He is most certainly knocking on the doors of the Indian selectors and another year of IPL dominance will make it hard to neglect him.

In the 120 matches he has played in the IPL, Uthappa has scored 2996 runs with an average of 29.96 and a strike rate of 127.70.
