Top five moments from this season’s IPL so far

3) SENIORS LIKE US SHOULD NOT BEHAVE LIKE THIS BROTHER

During a match between the Sunrisers and Knight Riders at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, things got heated up in the middle when the experienced KKR batsman Robin Uthappa got involved in some banter with young Indian pacer Sidharth Kaul. With KKR trying to chase down a mammoth total of 208, the scoreboard pressure got to Robin who gave a gentle push to the youngster with his shoulder. A bewildered Kaul looked on in shock.

Yuvraj Singh was certainly not impressed with this behavior of Uthappa. The clouds opened up soon and there was a rain-break. While walking off the field during this rain-break, Yuvraj Singh could be seen having an arm around Robin and explaining to him why he should restrain himself from targeting youngsters on the field. Yuvraj was talking and explaining his concerns to Uthappa like a good friend in a calm and composed manner which was very heartening to see. Yuvi and Robbie have been friends on and off the field ever since their younger days and had both been instrumental in India lifting the 2007 World T20 Cup. Yuvraj’s handling of the situation was indeed commendable and Robbie’s acceptance of his concerns was good to see at the end of the day.
