Watch: SRH Boss Kavya Maran's Emotions Take Dramatic Turn In Final Over vs KKR, Video Is Viral

Back to the Indian Premier League (IPL) with the Sunrisers Hyderabad taking on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their opening match of the 2024 season, co-owner Kavya Maran went through a roller-coaster of emotions in the opener on Saturday. The thrilling contest saw the Knight Riders secure a 4-run win over the Sunrisers, but not before wicket-keeper batter Heinrich Klaasen nearly pulled off a heroic win for the Southern franchise. Needing 13 runs from the final over, Klaasen smoked a six on the first ball, but everything changed afterwards.

SRH's co-owner, Kavya Maran, who always comes out to support her team, was jumping with joy seeing the first ball of the final over go for a six. But, KKR's Harshit Rana made a stunning comeback in the remaining 5 balls of the over to secure the win for his team.

The emotions Kavya went through, from the first ball to the last, became one of the most talked-about topics among IPL fans on social media.
