The Sunrisers Hyderabad players were visibly shattered after being rag-dolled by the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL 2024 Final. Having played incredibly fearless cricket throughout the season, the Orange Army earned itself a lot of admiration. However, in the biggest moment, they couldn’t replicate what they had prior.
Courageous Kaviya Maran
Thumped by KKR, even their owner, Kaviya Maran, failed to hold back her tears in the stands. But if the SRH owner was hurting, the player felt it more. There was an 8-year-long wait to win another IPL trophy, and all they got was agony. Knowing the pain that her players were feeling, Kaviya held back her tears and delivered a heartwarming speech to the players.

“You all have made us so proud. I had to come here and tell you that you have redefined the way we have T20 cricket and everyone is talking about us. The off-day had to happen today (IPL 204 Final) but a great job all of you with the bat and the ball. Thank you so much, “ she said.
“Even though we finished last place in the previous year, I think all the fans came out in huge numbers because of the huge potential you guys had. Everyone’s talking about us. Even if KKR won, I’m sure everyone’s still talking about and are going to talk about the style of cricket that we’ve played. Thanks guys, take care. Don’t look like this. We played in the finals. It wasn’t just any other game. All the other teams have been watching us tonight,” Kaviya Maran added.
