Robin Uthappa has been a mainstay in the KKR batting order for quite some time now, ever since he won the Orange Cap in their title-winning campaign in 2014. His consistency carried over to the next season but ever since his form has been taking a dip and last season when a lot was expected of him, Uthappa disappointed scoring 365 runs from 16 innings at a sub-par average of 21.93 leaving skipper Dinesh Karthik to do the scoring part which he did very well.

Robin Uthappa
Uthappa isn't too old, just 33 but his form and his inactivity in the domestic circuit might affect his performances and considering how he isn't in fray for the World Cup or that he has made forays into commentary, he might be considering retirement as a possible plan and this IPL might be his last.
