Mumbai: Chennai Super Kings star Robin Uthappa has leveled allegations against the Indian Premier League team Mumbai Indians. He alleged that the Mumbai Indians had threatened to sign the transfer paper during the 2009 IPL season. Uthappa says in a YouTube video with Ashwin. Uthappa said the incident took place a month before the start of the 2009 season. The Mumbai team had threatened not to include him in the playing XI if he did not sign the transfer paper.
Zaheer Khan and Manish Pandey were with me. I was one of the first players to be transferred to the IPL. It was a difficult thing. Because I trusted the Mumbai Indians. It happened a month before the start of the season. But Uthappa said he was not ready to sign.
Uthappa did not reveal who threatened him. Uthappa said he was suffering from depression while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. It was a time when people were going through a very difficult period in their lives. I could not shine in any of the matches during the season. Uthappa said he was able to do something when he returned to the team after the break.
