#2 Robin Uthappa
Robin Uthappa is perhaps the unluckiest cricketer of Indian cricket in the recent times. Despite having loads of talent and accumulating bucket full of runs in domestic cricket, he couldn’t make it big at the international arena. But the 32-year-old has been one of the most consistent performers in the IPL over the years.
The right-hander has been a prominent member of the KKR side and has played so many crucial knocks for them. He and Gambhir formed a formidable opening pair until the unorthodox Sunil Narine took his place at the top. Uthappa has scored 3778 runs from 149 IPL games at an average of 29.52 and a strike rate of 131.64. The franchise might not want to let go of the experienced lad.
