In the seventh match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) faced off against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Thursday. While the match itself was a spectacle, it was SRH co-owner Kavya Maran who stole the limelig🅘ht with her emotional reactions, cap♛tivating fans and social media alike.
Kavya Maran once again steals the spotlight
Kavya Maran, known for her passionate support of SRH, has become an iconic figure in the IPL since taking over ownership in 2018. Her presence at matches is marked by a rollercoaster of emotions that resonate with fans. During SRH’s first match of this season, she was seen jubilantly celebrating Ishan Kishan’s maiden IPL century, which set the tone for a promisi🍬ng start to their campaign. However, the atmosphere shifted dramatically in their second match against LSG.
LSG’s dominance in the run-chase
The game began with SRH batting first, setting a competitive total of 169 runs. Despite a shaky start—losing key players Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan 𒅌early—Travis Head and Nitish Kumar Reddy managed to stabilize the innings. However, their efforts were not enough to build a substantial score as wickets fell at crucial moments. An explosive late surge from Aniket Verma, who scored 36 runs off just 13 balls, brought some excitement, but SRH ultimately finished with 169-7 in th😼eir allotted overs
As LSG began their chase, it quickly became evident that they were in no mood to hold back. Nicholas Pooran’s explosive batting dismantled SRH’s bowling attack, as he scored a blistering 70 runs off just 26 balls. His onslaught included six sixes and several boundaries that left SRH’s bowlers- led by captain Pat Cummins and veteran pacer Mohammed Shami – struggling to contain the damage. The match concluded in just 16.1 overs, with LSG chasing down the target comfortably with five wickets remaining.
Fans react to the different moods of Kavya Maran
Throughout this tumultuous match, Kavya’s emotional journey mirrored that of her team. Cameras frequently captured her expressions – hands on her head in despair when Pooran was on the attack and visibly crestfallen after each wicket fell for SRH. Social media erupted with comments highlighting her emotional investment in the game, with one fan quipping that Kavya Maran has “better expressions than a Bollywood actress.” Her reactions became a focal point for fans who could relate to the highs and lows of supporting their team.
Kavya’s visible disappointment resonated deeply with SRH supporters, many of whom shared her sentiments online. Her candid expressions during key moments – like when Abhishek Sharma got out early, Nicholas Pooran dropped the catch of Travis Head, Pooran smashed sixes off an Adam Zampa over – captured not just her feelings but those of countless fans watching from home or in the stands.
