IPL 2017: 5 KKR players that RCB would love to have

#2 Robin Uthappa

Robin Uthappa has been a standout performer for the Knight Riders

Uthappa has been in tremendous form for the Kolkata Knight Riders as he amassed 384 runs in the 10 league matches in this year’s Indian Premier League. The stylish right-hander has been a revelation with the bat as he has constantly taken the attack to the opposition bowlers in the middle overs.

He is known to play the role of an aggressor in the batting unit of the Knight Riders. Uthappa has also worked hard on his wicket keeping skills and the results are there to be seen as he has been brilliant behind the stumps for the Kolkata outfit.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore suffered a severe blow just before the start of the tournament as the in-form wicketkeeper-batsman, KL Rahul was ruled out of the league due to a shoulder injury.

Rahul was in good form in the last edition of the IPL and was a vital cog in the batting unit for the Bangalore team. His untimely injury and lack of consistency from Kedar Jadhav behind the stumps has put the Challengers on the back foot. Rahul’s absence in the playing XI has left a huge void for the Challengers and they would have immensely benefited from the services of Uthappa.
