Watch: Kavya Maran’s angry reaction after Harshal Patel drops the catch

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s CEO and co-owner, Kavya Maran, is one of those who come to the ground and cheer for the team in every match. Her passion for the game is evident to all. When her team plays well, she expresses her joy wholeheartedly. However, when her team performs disappointingly, her anger is also visible in the open. He showed similar anger today during his team Hyderabad’s first innings against Chennai Super Kings at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Today, in the seventh over of the first innings of the match, Ravindra Jadeja played a shot at long-off on Zeeshan Ansari’s ball, which Harshal Patel would not judge perfectly, and he missed a very easy catch. Harshal had all the time to take the catch easily. That’s why Kavya Maran seems very angry with Harshal Patel and says some “Ben Stokes” words as well. However, later, Harshal Patel bowled well and managed to take four wickets of the Chennai Super Kings.
Kavya Maran’s team performance in the first inning against CSK
Kavya Maran’s team, Sunrisers Hyderabad, won the toss and elected to bowl first against CSK in the 43rd match of the IPL 2025. Hyderabad’s team made a great start, and in the very first game of the match, Mohammed Shami took the wicket of Chennai Super Kings’ young player Sheik Rasheed. Sunrisers Hyderabad bowlers also took three wickets in the first power-play. In this match, due to the excellent bowling of the Sunrisers Hyderabad bowler, the Chennai Super Kings team was all out on 154 runs.
In the first inning, Harshal Patel took four wickets, while Jaydev Unadkat and Pat Cummins took two wickets each. Dewald Brevis, who is making his debut for Chennai Super Kings, batted brilliantly and scored 42 runs in 25 balls. Young, talented batter Ayush Mhatre also played well and scored 30 runs in 19 balls.
This is a must-win game for both teams and by winning this, both teams would want to keep their hopes alive in the playoffs. The performance of both teams was not good, so whichever team loses this match, the expectations of their reach in the play-off will decrease. Sunrisers Hyderabad needs 155 runs to win this match.
