Former Indian cricket team batsman Robin Uthappa has revealed his shocking experiences during his time with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL after having a disappointing run of form in the 2019 season. Uthappa was part of the 2014 KKR squad to 2019 before moving to Rajasthan Royals and finally ending his career with Chennai Super Kings in 2022. In the latest episode of The Ranveer Show, Uthappa alleged that he faced a lot of judgment and mistreatment after a poor performance in 2019. He added that he believes that , as a senior professional, was not treated well at KKR.
“Lack of performance and performance judgments. Let’s take for example, I remember I was absolutely fine during my last year at KKR. For some reason, in the end, personally, from my point of view, I wasn’t treated very well. As a senior professional, I was not treated very well.”
“And in that case, my last match for KKR was a horrible game. I had a bad day at work and my work was there for everyone to judge and criticize and I was criticized. you, after that, for a good two or three months, I turned off my comments on social media.
Robin Utthapa is now open to dislodging briefly in his final year at KKR.
He admits he performed horribly, but insists there are things that led to that.

Uthappa further said that he left social media for 2-3 months due to criticism from fans and decided to focus on his family instead of dwelling on the negative comments.
“I got off social media because if I was on social media, I could feel the anxiety and depression coming back. At that time, my son was one year old. I had a wife and a kid and I didn’t want to go through that whole thing again. So I had to make a very conscious choice to say, you know what?”
“I don’t want to deal with this. Let me focus on my family and I had a bad day and a bad day doesn’t dictate my life and I know what led up to that bad day and why I got there and all of that, which is one. If I ever write a book, I’ll probably write about it. I won’t write a book, but I’ll definitely share it.
