This incident involving best friends Robin Uthappa and Irfan Pathan will make your day

Robin Uthappa last featured for India back in 2015 while touring Zimbabwe. He has been in out of the team since 2007 and has not been able to fix his spot in the national team. But while he was around the Indian team he made quite a lot of friends. While talking to Vikram Sathaye on his show What The Duck, Robin was asked questions on his friendship with the fellow players.

The 31-year-old was quick to answer that he was very good friends with many of the Indian players. He said, “I am pretty close to a lot of boys, MS (Dhoni) is a very dear friend, Virat (Kohli) is a very dear friend, Piyush (Chawla), RP Singh, and we all played together so all of us have been very close and thick.”

He also told Vikram about the bond in the team back then. “When I started playing in Indian team the friendship was extremely thick, we always spend time together, we ate our meals together, and we ordered food together…it was just everything together,” exclaimed the nostalgic Uthappa.

Robin was quick to share that apart from everyone else Irfan Pathan was his best mate. They are so good friends that some people called them husband and wife. The former Indian opener said, “We are so close so much so that when we played together and whenever we are together, we consider ourselves as husband and wife and that’s what people have called us.”

Their friendship is so close that Irfan even postponed his marriage in order to attend Uthappa’s wedding. When asked about the same Uthappa shared a laugh and said: “The discussion was ‘hey I (Uthappa) am getting married now’ and he’s (Irfan) like ‘Yeah but I am planning to get married’ and I said ‘Listen you are one of the best man’s in the marriage so please don’t get married at the same time so that you are not here and I need you to be here and I’ll be there as well’ and then we discussed it and he pushed his wedding a week away.”

When asked about any incidents of the “Husband and Wife”, Uthappa jokingly said that there are many. “There are way too many, some might even make our wives uncomfortable.” But there was this one incident which happened in Pakistan that Uthappa shared with interest.

This was during the Asia cup in 2008. Robin explained the incident pretty well, he said: “This was during Asia Cup in Pakistan and Yusuf was also there and Irfan used to bug me, every time I went close to food he bugged and kept teasing me about how I was overweight and stuff and kept picking on me and one day I lost the plot and I abused him, he just looked at me with a stone cold look and then he shut down and he didn’t talk to me.”

So the next day I met him in the Gym and said ‘hey good morning bro’ and he just looked at me with the stone cold look and I was thinking ‘what’s wrong with this guy’ and I said chuck it I don’t care. Maybe, two days later I met him in the lift and this time I was not gonna give in to him and I just said ‘Morning’ and he didn’t say anything and then I turned to him and said ‘what is your problem in life’ and he burst out laughing and apparently he was just pulling my leg… for four days,” explained Robin.

This incident really tells us how good a friend’s Robin and Irfan are. Watch the interview here:
