Out of the Indian team in both the formats of the game, Robin Uthappa has expressed his surprise at having got the $2 million plus deal for the IPL.
Uthappa was won over by IPL franchise Pune for $2.1 million, which fell at the number two position after Gautam Gambhir’s $2.4 million.
Uthappa said that he was happy to be still in demand and that he was worth so much money. Uthappa also added that while he was not expecting something as big, he was looking forward to something close.
He also said that he will miss playing for Bangalore, which is is home town and he plays for Karnataka in the Ranji trophy.
He added that given that he will be a part of the Pune side from their very first season, he will not have any issues adjusting to the tournament.
Uthappa had failed to get selected by the selectors in the 30-member probables squad for the World Cup but has said that he is confident that he will find a way into the side.
