The looks of things, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s co-owner Kavya Maran was unyielding in her support for the team during IPL 2024 season. In this regard, it is worth mentioning that she has been very excited during their matches and this led to massive attention on most social media platforms.
Kavya happiest moment arrived when SRH won by 36 runs against Rajasthan Royals in the Qualifier 2 match which saw them qualify into the finals, and she could not control her joy.
In the end, though, her loyalty to SRH paid off big time and it was a truly unforgettable moment of victory.
SRH will now face Kolkata Knight Riders in the final at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday.
SRH registered a score of 175-9 before restricting Rajasthan to 139-7; thus they got an opportunity to make amends for their loss from Kolkata at First Qualifier on Tuesday.
However, they failed to gather speed in batting towards the end overs of the tournament but made sure they set a target that would keep them ahead of any opponent until the last ball is played.
It was Trent Boult who then took three wickets in quick succession as he rattled Hyderabad and gave some hope to Mumbai Indians with his burst while Travis Head (34) tried helping RR get back into track after losing two early wickets including that of Sanju Samson (0).
However, all these were later shattered as Heinrich Klaasen only managed to score a breezy 50 towards the end but no much late flourish Hyderabad had expected happened.
Nonetheless, Yashasvi Jaiswal provided a robust start with his knock of 42; however due capitalizing on this strong foundation could not be made by Royal’s top order players.
On this account Dhruv Jurel smashed 56 off just 35 balls but he did not get enough support from the other end.
Another spinner Shahbaz Ahmed (3-23) was the pick of RCB’s bowlers and he was well supported by all-rounder Abhishek Sharma who took 2 for 24.
