Robin Uthappa was the man of the moment as he dominated headlines after his fiery fifty in LSG vs CSK match in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match at the Brabourne Stadium on Thursday. After Uthappa was dismissed, Shivam Dube took on the responsibility upon himself and the two of them got netizens talking on social media.
It was Uthappa who first got things going for CSK, the veteran Indian batter was picked up by CSK for INR 2 crores and judging by the early signs, he's going to repay the faith of the franchise in multi-folds.
Uthappa came out to open the innings alongside Ruturaj Gaikwad versus LSG and started to whack the ball around the stadium as he romped his way towards the 25th fifty of his IPL career.
