No need for Batman when you have Robin
Batman may take the headlines in the movies, but it is his sidekick, Robin, who does so on the cricket field. Robin Uthappa has been one of the most consistent players this IPL and it is his form which has helped KKR win three in four.
Against Kings XI Punjab, too, the wicket-keeper batsman was on form as he smacked 53 off just 28 balls. If you think it was an innings littered with brash shots, think again.
Uthappa did NOT hit a single six in the match, choosing to play without risk and opting to place and time his shots. With 9 fours, Uthappa played at a strike rate of almost 200 and left only after the result was secure.
