Robin Uthappa won NCL, changed religion at the age of 25

Now you must be wondering who is that Indian cricketer who changed his religion at the age of 25? The name of that Indian cricketer is Robin Uthappa, under whose captaincy the Chicago team won the title of the first season of National Cricket League T10. Robin Uthappa was initially a Hindu but then at the age of 25 he changed his religion and became a Christian. Uthappa, who has retired from Indian cricket, has contributed with both bat and captaincy in helping Chicago win the NCL title.

Atlanta Kings now had a target of 162 runs to win, but they could not score more than 117 runs. For Atlanta, Tom Bruce scored unbeaten 61 runs on 21 balls, but his attempt to make the team win failed and thus Uthappa's team lost the field.
