It was a surprising moment in the game when Robin Uthappa elbowed the Sunrisers Hyderabad pacer, Siddharth Kaul. However, Kaul kept calm and did not react to Uthappa’s actions.
It could have been ugly if Kaul would have reacted but Yuvraj Singh, the state teammate and state-mate of Siddharth Kaul, took the notice of the incident and reached out to Uthappa, who started the tease.
Yuvi had a chat with Uthappa when players were returning back to the pavilion after the game was interrupted by rain. It seemed like Uthappa too accepted his mistake and promised Yuvi that he would not repeat such thing.

This was not the first time when Uthappa was in the centre of controversy as two years back in 2015, there was news of the senior player getting into an altercation with RCB batsman Sarfaraz Khan. KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir favoured Uthappa and blamed media for taking the matter too seriously. Later, the news suggested that even Uthappa has apologised but there was no official word on this altercation as Javgal Srinath, the match referee had no clue about this incident.
