Former India player Robin Uthappa has debunked a big myth regarding legendary captain MS Dhoni in a recent interview. There had been a belief that Dhoni loved to drink milk. During the start of his international career, some media houses even claimed that the player drank around four litres of milk everyday. While speaking on the matter, Uthappa, who has been teammates with Dhoni, cleared that he never saw the player drinking milk. During the interview, he also talked about an “irritating habit” of the cricketing great.

“I have never seen him drinking milk. I have never seen him drinking milk ever,” Uthappa said on The Lallantop.

“We talk regularly. He doesn’t keep his phone which is a very bad and irritating habit. You can’t reach him. Even after being such close friends, we need to inform his manager that we are coming. When we sit with him, it is like time hasn’t gone by. There can be 20 people sitting there, but you connection with him will be the same.”

Recalling his first meeting with Dhoni, Uthappa said, “The person I met in 2004 for the first time in Mumbai, I was introduced to him in Taj President Hotel during the Challenger Trophy. I met him for the first time, S Sriram introduced me to Dhoni. He was a Tamil Nadu senior and he was my good friend, and he was good friends with Dhoni. That’s how we met. The man I met in 2004 is still the same, when I sit and talk with him, the level of friendship is different.”

MS Dhoni is among the greatest captains ever India produced. The legend retired from international cricket as the only skipper to win all three major ICC white-ball titles – T20 World Cup (2007), ODI World Cup (2011) and Champions Tropy (2013).

Talking about Robin Uthappa, he played 46 ODIs and 13 T20Is for India from 2006 to 2015.

After facing an arrest warrant over an alleged provident fund (PF) fraud, former India player Robin Uthappa has broken his silence into the matter. An arrest warrant has been issued against the ex-India star for the alleged fraud in connection with the PF contributions of employees at a clothing company run by him. He has time till December 27 to pay the dues of nearly Rs 24 lakh, or face arrest. While clearing the air on the matter, Uthappa said that his legal advisors will take the necessary steps to resolve the issue.

“In light of recent news of the PF case against me, I would like to provide some clarification with regards to my involvement with Strawberry Lenceria Pvt. Ltd., Centaurus Lifestyle Brands Pvt. Ltd., and Berryz Fashion House.

“In 2018-19, I was appointed as a director in these companies due to my financial contributions to them in the form of loans. However, I did not have an active executive role, nor was I involved in the day-to-day operations of the businesses. Given my demanding schedule as a professional cricketer, TV presenter, and commentator, neither did I have the time nor expertise to participate in their operations. In fact, I do not play an executive role in any other companies I have funded, till date.

“Regrettably, these companies failed to repay the funds I lent them, leading me to initiate legal proceedings, which are currently sub judice. I also resigned from my directorships several years ago.

“When the Provident Fund authorities issued notices demanding payment of dues, my legal team responded, highlighting that I had no role in these companies and provided documentation from the companies themselves confirming my lack of involvement. Despite this, the Provident Fund authorities have continued with proceedings, and my legal advisors will take the necessary steps to resolve this matter in the coming days.

“I would also like to urge the media to kindly present complete facts and to verify the authenticity of information being shared,” shared Uthappa on social media.

Mr Uthappa is the director of Bengaluru-based Centaurus Lifestyle Brands Pvt Ltd. The company failed to remit the damages of about Rs 23,36,602, which is to be recovered from the former Team India player, said Regional PF Commissioner Sadakshari Gopal Reddy in the arrest warrant issued on December 4.

The 39-year-old former batsman is accused of deducting provident funds from the salary of his employees but not depositing the funds into the accounts of his employees.

Due to non-remittances of dues, this office is unable to settle the Provident Fund Accounts of the poor workers, the letter said, asking the police to arrest Mr Uthappa and return the warrant on or before December 27.
