The Sports School has collaborated with Robin Uthappa, as our Chief Mentor for Cricket, in order to provide our students with the experience and insights that he has gained while playing cricket both domestically and Internationally over the years. He regularly interacts with the students to help them understand and excel in the nuances of the game to its entirety.

An Indian International Cricketer, Robin is a right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper who made his ODI debut in the seventh and final match of the English tour of India in April 2006, where he scored 86 runs as an opening batsman, which became the highest score for an Indian debutant in a limited-overs match.
