Uthappa made this revelation while opening up on his old comments on Virat Kohli, where he blamed the former skipper for ending India careers of Yuvraj Singh and Ambati Rayudu.
Robin Uthappa had said that when Yuvraj Singh, who beat cancer and won multiple World Cups for India, was trying to stage an India comeback under Virat Kohli's leadership, he was told "his lung capacity has diminished."
While talking about the Ambati Rayudu case, Uthappa said that “If Virat dislikes anyone or he feels someone is not good then they are out." He had mentioned how Rayudu was not selected for the 2019 World Cup despite being in good shape and was wronged by then-India skipper Kohli.
In that whole conversation, the intent was not to speak about Virat - Robin Uthappa
Uthappa, who shared the dressing room with Kohli in the Indian team and RCB, said that his intent was not to speak about Kohli, and even when he shared his thoughts, he should have taken the India legend's sentiments into consideration.
"In that whole conversation, the intent was not to speak about Virat. That interview was meant to be about me. I was asked a question which I spoke to. I didn't take into consideration at that point the sentiments of Virat or the fact that even if this is what I believe, he should know what I believe and that gives me the right to voice that.
I didn't speak about my experience with Virat - Robin Uthappa
While acknowledging his mistake, the former India batter said that he didn't speak about his experiences with Kohli or his leadership style; instead, he dropped remarks on other players' treatment. He said:
"Everyone is entitled to have their own style, and everyone is entitled to have their opinion on that style. That was my learning that I should have spoken about it to him and that sensitivity we must extend to cricketers or people in the same fraternity."
