Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is a stronger franchise now compared to past seasons. With additions like Travis Head, Pat Cummins, Heinrich Klaasen, the team is now a top contender in the T20 league. The team’s popularity comes from both its players and its owners.
Kavya Maran, a co-owner, is a common sight in the stands during SRH games and has been seen giving passionate talks in the team’s dressing room.
Despite not being from the entertainment or sports world, Kavya frequently appears on television. In an interview, Kavya explained that cameramen notice her due to her love for the game.
Those are my true feelings because my work requires me to be visible. In Hyderabad, I have to remain in my seat. Even when I’m in Ahmedabad or Chennai, far away in a box, the cameraman still finds me. I understand how that turns into memes, she told InsideSport.
Fans see a range of emotions through Kavya, from sadness to excitement, reflecting what it means to be a Sunrisers Hyderabad supporter.
I truly show my feelings when it comes to Sunrisers. When you’re fully engaged in something, you become attached to its wins and losses, said Kavya, who is also the ED & CEO of Sun TV Network.
The franchise last won the IPL title in 2016 and has since reached the final twice, in 2018 and 2024. They are still trying to win their second title.
