After a fan pointed out that he doesn't support KKR like he supports CSK, Robin Uthappa, who has played for both the franchises, tweeted, "After Gauti (Gautam Gambhir) was let go, everything changed and I felt alienated." He added, "However, my love for the fans of KKR was the same and will remain the same forever...This isn't about...fans of KKR."
