The Karnataka batsman who was once responsible for KKR's triumph has become a liability these days. Robin Uthappa has lost his touch with the bat in recent times. In a much-needed situation, while building a healthy score against Mumbai Indians, he was able to score only 40 off 47*. It was a slow knock for which he received a lot of flak on social media.

The walking assassin was once a vital force in the batting line up. He had scored above 400 runs in both 2012 and 2014 IPL (title triumph) and remained a great asset for KKR. Uthappa was retained for Rs. 6.4 crores this season but he couldn't justify the price paid for him. He was able to pile up 282 runs in 12 games with an average of 31.33 with a high score of 67*.

The Kolkata based franchise might release him and look out for an all-rounder who can score well in pressure situations and might help the team.
