Controversies
Scuffle with Sarfraz Khan in IPL 2015 at Eden Gardens. Media reports alleged Uthappa for holding RCB’s Sarfraz Khan by collar. However, match referee Javagal Srinath denied for any such instance.
A 90's born who has witnessed Sachin becoming "The God", Dhoni becoming "The only Captain to have won all the ICC trophies" and Kohli turning into a "run-machine". Cricket is something I am crazy for and I try to deliver the best and true I can in my every writing.
