2007 T20 World Cup winner Robin Uthappa retires from all forms of cricket

India's T20 World Cup hero Robin Uthappa retired from all forms of Indian cricket on September 14, 2022. Back in 2007, Uthappa became a household name in Indian cricket after helping India win a bowlout against Pakistan in the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup.

"It has been my greatest honour to represent my country and my state, Karnataka. However, all good things must come to an end, and with a grateful heart, I have decided to retire from all forms of Indian cricket," the player wrote on Twitter.

Well known for his flamboyance and his ability to



hit through the line, Uthappa was a household name for his exploits in the Indian Premier League. The batter was one of the main reasons behind Kolkata Knight Riders' success in the IPL 2014, as he scored a massive 660 runs at a strike-rate of 138 in the tournament.

"It's been 20 years since I started playing professional cricket and it has been the greatest honour to represent my country and state, Karnataka - a wonderful journey full of ups and downs; one that has been fulfilling, rewarding, and enjoyable and has allowed me to grow as a human being," the player wrote in a statement.
