Rajasthan Royals bought Robin Uthappa for Rs. 3 crores during IPL 2020 auction. Although the wicketkeeper-batsman has had many successful seasons in IPL in the past, he could not execute an amazing batting show for RR in the 2020 season.
He could pile up only 196 runs in 12 games at an average of 16.33. The right-handed batsman also failed to hit a fifty in any of the matches and owned an average strike rate of 119+. After the conclusion of the season, the franchise traded Uthappa to Chennai Super Kings.
