Former India international and IPL stalwart Robin Uthappa, announced on Wednesday that he is retiring from all forms of Indian cricket.
Uthappa, who played 46 One Day Internationals and 13 Twenty20 Internationals for India, played for the Chennai Super Kings in the most recent edition of the Indian Premier League, scoring 230 runs in 12 matches at an average of 20.90 including a 50-ball 88 against Royal Challengers Bangalore.
The wicket-keeping batter is among the top ten leading run-scorers of the Indian Premier League all time with 4952 runs at an average of 27.51 in 205 matches.
In a tweet announcing his retirement, he wrote: “It’s been 20 years since I started playing professional cricket, and it has been the greatest honour to represent my country and state, Karnataka – a wonderful journey full of ups and downs; one that has been fulfilling, rewarding, enjoyable and has allowed me to grow as a human being.”
“However, all good things must come to an end, and with a grateful heart I have decided to retire from all forms of Indian cricket. While I will spend a significant time with my young family, I look forward to charting a new phase in my life.”
It has been my greatest honour…
