KKR vs RCB: Watch - Robin Uthappa makes shocking and painful claims about his time at Kolkata Knight Riders

Former India and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) batter Robin Uthappa made some sensational revelations about his horrible batting performance in the IPL 2019. Uthappa claimed that he wasn't treated very well as a senior by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which badly impacted him.

The 38-year-old further claimed that bad treatment at the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) led to a horrible game, and then he was heavily criticized on social media. Uthappa said that he switched off from social media for two to three months, and it really helped him.

But after a few times, the former World Cup winner realized that he couldn’t make his young family suffer because of an outside reason, hinting at someone who made him feel bad about himself. And that’s how the commentator decided to leave the team for the sake of himself and his family. 

I wasn't treated very well at KKR: Robin Uthappa

Robin Uthappa said on KKR Vibe: “Lack of performance and the judgments of performance. Let's see, for example, I remember I was absolutely fine when my last year with KKR. For whatever reason, towards the end, personally from my perspective, I wasn't treated very well.

As a senior pro, I wasn't treated very well. And in that instance, 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 got criticized. I got taken to the cleaners. And I can tell you, in that time after that, for a good. Two-three months, I switched off my comments on social media.”

The former batter said that he didn’t want to deal with the drama and didn’t allow that one bad day to dictate his life. The former batter also said that he would someday share everything about that incident with the KKR team. He had scored 282 runs in 12 games for KKR in the IPL 2019.

I could feel the anxiety...: Robin Uthappa

Uthappa further revealed, “I got off social media because if I was on social media, I could feel the anxiety and the depression coming back and I had. By then, my son was one year old. I had a wife and a son and I didn't want to go through that whole that whole gambit 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 fucking serve my family and I had a bad day and a bad day doesn't dictate my life and I know what led to that bad day and why I got there and all of that, which is a. If I ever write a book, I'll probably write about it. I won't write a book but I’ll share that absolutely.”
