i know utthapa can bat well and he can bowl some decent medium pace bowling but the last thing i expected from his is keeping wickets. i was first a lil surprised then was very impressed by his glove work. i have to admit that he is way better in wicket keeping that dhoni and karthick. whats ur thought on him?

Uthappa - Wicketkeeper now!
I was surprised! Uthappa's batting has become quite bad these days and it was nice seeing him keep wickets and doing a good job at it! It wasn't his first time. He's also a good fielder and that must help him a lot

agreed.if u cant help ur team in one way,try helping in other ways.like kartihck ehen scoring ducks tries to save as many as runs as possible while fiuelding or like ryder yesterday.gone second ball duck but took 2 wickets and a good catch to help his team to victory.good work robin

He has kept stumps before, but I must say I was surprised to see him keep in this match. He was decent though, he got a stumping as well. But you cannot really judge him from just one match. Hope his batting does not suffer because of this. If he can bat well in the IPL he might even be considered as a reserve wicket keeper for the T20 world cup.

royals experiment with making uthappa wicket keeper was very interesting, i was surprised too at his keeping and glove work and was fun to see the match in my oppinion he performed better then wat dhoni or karthik could do with keeping lol
