The “Super 12” stage of the ongoing 20-20 World Cup began on 22 October 2022. All qualifiers got completed on 21 October as four teams qualified for the second round. Now, India will begin their campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan in Melbourne on 23 October 2022. All fans are hoping to see a good show from the Men in Blue this year.

In the last edition of the 20-20 World Cup, India lost the match against the Men in Green by 10 wickets. India have only managed to win this title only once in 2007. So, fans are eagerly waiting to win the trophy this year after a gap of 15 years. Robin Uthappa was a major part of the triumph of India in 2007.

“My semi-finalists could be Australia, England, Pakistan, and South Africa,” - Robin Uthappa

Meanwhile, the former Indian batter has now become a commentator. He was doing broadcasting duties in the recent T20I series in India against South Africa and Australia respectively. Now, EspnCricinfo hosted a program where they called many former cricketers and pundits to make bold predictions for this ongoing World Cup. In that show, those people were asked about their preferred fur semi-finalists for the 20-20 World Cup 2022. In reply to that question, Robin Uthappa surprised Indian fans with his choices.

Talking on ESPNCricinfo, Uthappa picked his 4 semi-finalists as England, Australia, Pakistan, and South Africa. “I need to begin off with a disclaimer. I don’t assume Indian followers could be too joyful. However my semi-finalists could be Australia, England, Pakistan, and South Africa,” Uthappa said. While other guests selected India as one of the semi-finals in their predictions. Hearing such a bold prediction from Robin Uthappa, Indian fans were not happy. They took their social media platforms and started to blame the former Indian batter. Some of them also came up with a demand to send the former batter out of the country.
