In a recent IPL 2024 match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), a moment featuring SRH owner Kavya Maran has taken the internet by storm. The match saw RCB break their six-game losing streak with a commanding 35-run victory over SRH.
RCB’s innings was highlighted by strong performances from Rajat Patidar and Virat Kohli, who both scored half-centuries, propelling RCB to a competitive total of 206/7. In response, SRH struggled, losing wickets at regular intervals, ultimately finishing at 171/8. The collapse of SRH’s top order, including explosive batters like Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Aiden Markram, and Heinrich Klaasen, was a significant factor in their defeat.

In a post-match presentation, RCB captain Faf Du Plessis acknowledged the competitive nature of the tournament, emphasizing the importance of performances in building confidence within the team. He also highlighted the challenges of playing at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, known for being difficult for bowlers.
Despite the loss, SRH captain Pat Cummins remained positive, emphasizing the team’s strong batting approach, which he described as their “strong suit.” He acknowledged that while this approach may not work in every game, it has been effective for SRH in many matches.
This defeat marked SRH’s third loss in IPL 2024, but they managed to retain the third spot in the points table. Cummins urged his team not to dwell on this loss too much, recognizing that in T20 cricket, it’s impossible to win every game.
Overall, the match between RCB and SRH not only showcased some exciting cricket but also highlighted the emotional rollercoaster that comes with being a part of the IPL, as demonstrated by Kavya Maran’s viral reaction.
