India discards and their performances in Ranji Trophy

8. Robin Uthappa (Karnataka):

Robin Uthappa is the sixth highest run getter currently in this Ranji season. He has 759 runs at an average of 58.38. Uthappa has hit 3 centuries and the equal number of half-centuries. The 30-year old batsman last played in Indian colors when he toured to Zimbabwe for the ODI series. Going by his Ranji performance in the last two seasons, maybe the time has come for selectors to keep his name in their mind for a spot in the national team.
