On the occasion of Daughter's Day on Sunday, several celebrities took to social media platforms and showered their daughters with heartfelt wishes.

On the occasion of Team India's ICC T20 World Cup 2007 win, former Indian batter Robin Uthappa said on Saturday that he still remembers his celebration after the famous bowl-out after a thrilling tied Group D clash with arch-rivals Pakistan during the tournament.

Uthappa's right forearm, suggest a deep conviction in his abilities, a belief that he is destined for greater things. The key word though was always belief, with which the 36-year-old swashbuckling batter played the sport he loved, with passion and distinction. On Wednesday evening, Uthappa took to social media to call time on his career, highlighted by a T20 World Cup triumph in 2007, Ranji Trophy titles and success in the IPL. Numbers don't always reveal the real picture and it is true in Uthappa's case. In an international career spanning nine years, Uthappa made 46 ODI and 13T20I appearances. It didn't do justice to the abilities and natural talent which helped him shine in the 2002-03 Ranji Trophy season. He last played for the country against Zimbabwe in an away series in 2015.

However, all good things must come to an end, and with a grateful heart, I have decided to retire from all forms of Indian cricket," Uthappa said.
