    After playing in the Indian Premier League 2022, Robin Uthappa retired from all forms of cricket. The veteran batter could be considered a legend in the IPL as he has featured in the league since the inaugural season. He also played a vital role in CSK’s championship victory in 2021.

    The four-time champions brought their star batter back in auction ahead of the IPL 2022 for INR 2 crore. However, Robin Uthappa failed to replicate his performances from the 2021 season. He could only manage 230 runs in 12 matches in the IPL 2022 at an average of 20.90.

    Robin has now retired from all forms of cricket and CSK will be forced to release him from the squad. Furthermore, it will release funds of INR 2 crore for the franchise that could be invested in deserving talent for the IPL 2023.
