Robin Uthappa had a big contribution in winning the 2007 T20 World Cup, hardly anyone will forget his fast innings and winning the ball out match against Pakistan. But now Robin Uthappa has come into the limelight due to one of his statements. Robin Uthappa has claimed that if there is any sport in the world in which the maximum number of suicides take place, then it is cricket. Robin Uthappa said in an interview that there is so much pressure on a cricketer that his mental condition deteriorates and he goes into depression.

Robin Uthappa said in a conversation with Lallantop, 'Very few people know that cricket has the highest number of suicides. This is not limited to players only, it is also for players, umpires, and broadcasters. Most suicides are committed by people associated with this game.' Uthappa further said, 'If you look at cricket, it is a team game as well as an individual game. You are competing with your fellow opener. The third opener on the bench also wants to take your place. Playing with this fear for 10-15 years, you go into a darkness.'

Robin Uthappa further said, 'In 2011, I was ashamed of myself. I was ashamed of the person I had become. Talking about depression and suicide, Graham Thorpe recently committed suicide. Former Indian cricketer David Johnson committed suicide. VB Chandrasekhar Sir, who is called the foundation of CSK, is also included in this. I too had reached the darkness of depression, it was a bad journey. You feel that you have become a burden on the people who love you. You feel that you are of no use.' Let us tell you that Robin Uthappa has left India. He has settled in Dubai with his family. Uthappa was upset with the traffic jam in Bangalore, after which he took this big step.
