Robin Uthappa's big statement

Robin Uthappa said in a conversation with Lallan Top, 'Very few people know that most suicides take place in cricket. This is not limited to just players, it is also for players, umpires, broadcasters. Most of the suicides are committed by people associated with this sport. Uthappa further said, 'If you look at cricket, it is a team game as well as an individual game. You are competing with your fellow opener. The third opener on the bench also wants to take your place. By playing with this fear for 10-15 years, you go into darkness.

'I was feeling ashamed of myself'

Robin Uthappa further said, 'In 2011, I was feeling ashamed of myself. I started feeling ashamed of what I had become as a person. Talking about depression and suicide, recently Graham Thorpe committed suicide. Former Indian cricketer David Johnson committed suicide. VB Chandrashekhar sir, who is called the foundation of CSK, is also involved in this. I too had fallen into the darkness of depression, it was a bad journey. You feel as if you have become a burden on the people who love you. You feel as if you are of no use. Let us tell you that Robin Uthappa has left India. He has settled in Dubai with his family. Uthappa was troubled by the traffic jam in Bengaluru, after which he took this big step.
