India cricketer Robin Uthappa posted a video on Twitter yesterday to justify his absence in this edition of the Karnataka Premier League (KPL). Uthappa, 31, said he gave the tournament a miss to spend time with his pregnant wife Sheetal.
"A lot of people are asking me why I am not playing in KPL. Sheetal and I expecting the first one. And we are really excited about it. And season begins next month. I want to spend as much time as I can with her because I will be leaving soon for the domestic circuit and I will be back in time for the birth of the child. I'm preparing our home for the baby," he said in the video.
So this is why I'm missing the KPL this year!! Wishing the KSCA and everyone playing the KPL very best of luck!! God bless!! #NammaKPL pic.twitter.com/45jjpUnyGx
