IPL Orange Cap winner in 2014 is now a mental health coach: A journey from suicidal thoughts to winning the World Cup alongside MS Dhoni

Robin Uthappa draws a compelling comparison between professional cricket and the corporate world he now works in as a coach. He explains, “It is an individual sport within a team sport, which is much like corporate life. You exist within the team, you have a role to play and you have to work with other people to achieve what is required for that role. But while you’re doing that, you also have somebody else waiting to take one of your spots if you don’t perform well enough.”, according to The National news.

He elaborates on this pressure, saying, “There’s an innate sense of insecurity that you operate within and you have one eye looking over your shoulder at all times.”
