Powerplay with Robin Uthappa and Prasidh Krishna
Robin Uthappa has been lighting up the Karnataka Premier League so far, playing for the Bengaluru Blasters.
In the very first match of the tournament, Uthappa smashed his way to an 81 run knock. He has led his side with aplomb and they are currently unbeaten in the league and on top of the table. They have also qualified for the playoffs.
Along with Uthappa, the Blasters also have Prasidh Krishna in their side. The 22-year-old bowler, who was in the same team as Uthappa in the IPL as well (Kolkata Knight Riders) is yet to play a single match in the KPL.
He was a part of the India B squad in the recently concluded Quadrangular series, which was held in Bengaluru. However, he is back with the Blasters for now and we could soon see him play his first match this year.
Prior to the tournament, both Uthappa and Krishna caught up with Sportskeeda for a fun rapid-fire segment, where they were asked to give quick one-word answers for the questions/phrases/players names thrown at them.
