Happy Birthday Robin Uthappa: 2007 T20 World Cup Hero's Complete T20 Stats
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) took to social media to send warm birthday wishes to former Team India batter Robin Uthappa. The official tribute poster specifically highlighted his unforgettable legacy as a member of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2007 winning squad.
Affectionately known as "Robbie," Uthappa holds a special place in Indian cricket history. His fearless approach of charging down the pitch against express fast bowlers made him a genuine pioneer of modern aggressive batting. He brought immense energy to that young MS Dhoni-led side in South Africa, most notably hitting the stumps during the iconic bowl-out against Pakistan and celebrating with his trademark hat-tip.

Beyond his international contributions, Uthappa was an absolute giant in franchise cricket. He played a pivotal role in the Indian Premier League (IPL), winning the Orange Cap and the trophy with Kolkata Knight Riders in 2014, and securing another title with Chennai Super Kings late in his career.
Here is the 100% verified, complete breakdown of his T20 runs, fifties, and hundreds across international and domestic levels:
