This caused the tweet
There could be a reason why Uthappa did this tweet. After looking at the social media, it seems that Uthappa, who is supporting Chennai, found it difficult to ignore KKR and KKR fans took a dig at him for the same thing. A user had tweeted that Uthappa has played only one or two seasons for Chennai and he is fully supporting this team but he was never seen supporting Kolkata.
Loyalty and respect is a give and take my friend!!
