"Well, I think the only thing that's stopping him is his health. I think his fitness will be the only thing that stops him from playing any further. He loves the game.

The mind is innovating. The mind is staying up to date. He's like, Oh, everyone's playing the ramp shot. I can do it too," said Uthappa.
