“Hayden did not speak to me for 2-3 years”: Uthappa on sledging in India-Australia game
Robin Uthappa looked back at the series of matches between India and Australia from the year 2007, revealing how there was an incredible amount of sledging going on each time the two times faced each other. 2007 was the year when India defeat Australia in the semi-final of the inaugural T20 World Cup and later squared off in a one-off T20 series and a seven-match ODI series. Through the series of matches, Uthappa explained how both teams were constantly having a go at each other, describing how it all began during the crunch semi-final tie – in Durban – of the T20 World Cup in South Africa. “The amount of sledging that happened in that game was incredible. I remember people having a go at me and at that time when they had a go, very few people retaliated. Only Zak bhai (Zaheer Khan) was one of them and a few other fast bowlers. But none of the batsmen gave it back,” Uthappa told stand-up comedian Sorabh Pant on his YouTube show ‘Wake up with Sorabh’.
