#2 Robin Uthappa
During the IPL 2021 Trade Window, Robin Uthappa joined the Chennai Super Kings. He was traded to the Rajasthan Royals in exchange for cash. Uthappa wanted to hit 1,000 runs in the IPL 2021, but he didn’t get the chance until Suresh Raina was hurt with only a few games left.
Uthappa only played four games in the competition, but he had a big influence. In the Qualifier 1 encounter against the Delhi Capitals, he hit a match-winning half-century. In the summit battle, Uthappa too had a great cameo of 31 runs against his former team, KKR.
#3 Moeen Ali
