Sunrisers Hyderabad Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Kaviya Maran is in the spotlight ahead of her side’s Indian Premier League (IPL) match today against Chennai Super Kings at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
Kaviya, who is the daughter of Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kalanithi Maran, is regularly seen in the stands while supporting her team during the ongoing IPL 2024.
She was also spotted showing off some moves during Sunrisers Hyderabad’s match against Mumbai Indians last week.
Ahead of today’s IPL match, Kaviya’s fans are eagerly looking forward to her charismatic appearance on the sidelines once again.
SRH, captained by Pat Cummins, commenced this edition with a setback, suffering a defeat to two-time champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by four runs.
However, they staged a splendid recovery in their second fixture, triumphing over Mumbai Indians by 31 runs at home. Despite their commendable efforts, the Hyderabad-based franchise stumbled to a seven-wicket loss against Gujarat Titans in their last outing.
Their forthcoming clash will mark their second home game, and they will be eager to turn the tide in their favour.
Meanwhile, defending champions CSK commenced the season impressively, securing consecutive victories against Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Gujarat Titans.
However, the outcome of their recent encounter against Delhi Capitals was less favourable, as the Ruturaj Gaikwad-led side succumbed to a 20-run defeat. With their illustrious history of five-time championships, CSK undoubtedly possesses the resilience to regroup and deliver a formidable performance in this match.
In the 19 head-to-head battles between the two sides, Chennai have managed 14 wins while Hyderabad stand at 5 wins.
