It wasn’t just a blind prediction—it stemmed from his keen cricketing insight, shaped by years of playing at the highest level.
Earlier Robin Uthappa supported K L Rahul when the Karnataka batter faced widespread criticism ahead of India’s tour of Australia. Uthappa remained steadfast in his belief that Rahul possessed the temperament and skill to deliver under pressure. Next name on Uthappa’s list of unwavering support is Sanju Samson. Having played alongside him in the Ranji Trophy during his stint with Kerala, Uthappa recognized Samson’s potential long before the right-hander’s current purple patch. Even when Samson struggled to find a permanent spot in the Indian team, Uthappa remained vocal about his abilities. That belief has been justified in 2024, as Samson has emerged as India’s leading run-scorer in T20s, showcasing his explosive batting talent.
