A night of disappointment for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday turned into a social media frenzy for co-owner Kavya Maran. Fans took X to create memes referencing Maran after SRH registered the lowest score in IPL final history, mustering only 113 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
Maran, who serves as CEO alongside her father Kalanithi Maran, has become a popular figure in the IPL. However, her team's batting collapse at the MA Chidambaram Stadium proved too much for some fans to resist a lighter take on the situation, some of them are mentioned below:
SRH captain Pat Cummins' decision to bat first backfired spectacularly as wickets fell at regular intervals. The team was bundled out within 18.3 overs, with skipper Cummins (24 runs) and Aiden Markram (20 runs) the only batsmen to reach double digits. KKR bowlers shared the spoils, with Andre Russell taking 3/19 and Mitchell Starc and Harshit Rana chipping in with two wickets each.
