Kavya Kalanithi Maran, famously known as Kavya Maran, in a recent interview said about multiple aspects of cricket and her views on the game. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is known for their power-packed batting order and a die heart fan base.

By that time, Kavya had become one of the popular franchise owners of the Indian Premier League. How did she start the journey in the cash-rich league? Kavya answered swiftly. Sunrisers Hyderabad is owned by the Kalanithi Maran-led Sun Group. Kavya has been involved with the franchise since 2013. It was Kalanithi Maran himself who asked Kavya to join the franchise. She was only 21 years old and just out of college when Kalanithi Maran bought the team.

“He came to me and said, ‘You understand this audience better; you love cricket,’” she said. "My mother and my grandfather [were into cricket]… So cricket just playing on television 24/7 was a part and parcel of life growing up. So, my involvement started quite organically."

Kavya has to look multiple franchises 

Not only Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kavya has to look after multiple franchises, and all are cricket teams. So, her knowledge of cricket is beyond question. Northern Superchargers in The Hundred (UK-based league) and Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the SA20 League (South Africa-based league) are also owned by Kavya Maran. She understands how a good scouting prospect can help an entire cricket community. 

"For instance, The Hundred is a very short format. In SA20, their cultural upbringing is very different... So now, if I have found a talent when I go to the U.K., I'll bring him to the IPL, or I'll take him to SA20. Overall, it benefits international cricket... So, I think what is happening is amazing, and the future of cricket is only booming. Franchise cricket is playing a big role in it", she said.

SRH vs KKR: Post Match Reactions

Heinrich Klaasen (Player of the Match): "It's been a tough season for me personally, although I have had a few good games. But I'm happy it came off today. The straights here are very short, so I changed my angle of trajectory to take advantage of that. I have spent a lot of time in the nets finding good areas to hit. My role is usually to come in around 6th or 7th over, and I just executed it today.

Pat Cummins (SRH Captain): What a great finish! Our batting was scary today. We didn't have a fact-infected period after the middle, and we bounced back really well. With the number of players we have, we were expecting to be in the finals. We have played about 20 players, and we are happy with the players we have and how the squad works, but we have lost a few to injury.

Harsh Dubey (SRH): I play to my strengths, although the strengths depend on the surface. My focus was to turn the ball better where I could and take the angles well. I have worked hard over the last 5 years, and I learn from coaches such as Sairaj Bahutule and Ashwin. Ranji matches help, but I am focusing on my white-ball performances.

Ajinkya Rahane (KKR captain): "They batted really well. We made some mistakes, and our poor execution hurt us. Their intent was fantastic. We didn't come together as a team, but we fought in the game, and it was good enough. No regrets, just learning and moving on."

What an innings by Heinrich Klaasen! Before signing off officially from the ongoing IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad perhaps pulled off one of their best performances of the season thanks to the monstrous batting display by the South African international. 

With only 37 balls, Klaasen got his 100 today (May 25) against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Arun Jaitley stadium. With the form Klaasen has produced, there was no one from KKR who could stop him; he was invincible tonight.

After facing 39 deliveries, the 33-year-old batter remained not out for 105 with a strike rate of 269.23. The middle-order batter hit nine 6s and seven 4s to bolster his record-shattering innings in the Indian Premier League. With the support of the ton, SRH, as the team, put an unthinkable total of 278 in the 20-over limit with the exchange of only 3 wickets.

Klaasen's best IPL season so far

Cricket fans attended the match at the stadium, thoroughly enjoying every ball in the first innings, and netizens expressed their feelings through various posts. Despite a strong, arguably one of the best batting units in IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad failed to perform as a team in the high time of the tournament, and they were knocked out from playoff contention early.

Klaasen, one of their main men in the middle order, played 14 games and scored 487, including a 105*, with an overall strike rate of 172.69 and a batting average of 44.27. So far, he has participated in 5 IPL seasons, and IPL 2025 proved his best in terms of batting stats.

In Match 65 of IPL 2025, the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 42 runs at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. SRH set a target of 231 runs after a strong batting display, scoring 231/6 in 20 overs on a flat batting pitch thanks to a blistering 94* off 48 from Ishan Kishan, while there were plenty of contributions from Abhishek Sharma and Aniket Verma at the death towards the end, when SRH added over 60 runs in the last 5 (only 7 overs) off the bat, turning a good innings into a big target. 

RCB got off to a positive start, with Phil Salt making a quick-fire 62 off 32 with Virat Kohli scoring a run-a-ball 43 at a good pace, but RCB fell apart after losing their top order. The Sunrisers bowlers executed a disciplined and venomous bowling plan, with star Pat Cummins (3/28) and Eshan Malinga (2/37) taking early important wickets on a good pitch. The turning point for the game came in the middle-order spells when SRH choked RCB's run-scoring and forced them into mistakes. 

RCB was bowled out for 189 in 19.5 overs as scoreboard pressure and an inept middle order performing under pressure led to their demise. RCB has a long road ahead, while SRH recently has been red-hot, and they will be dangerous as we enter the final wildcard playoff race. Here are the reasons why RCB loss to SRH.

1. Powerplay Carnage by Sunrisers Openers

Sunrisers weren’t slow out of the blocks but pandemonium in the power play was instigated by Ishan Kishan and the rest of the top-order players. They treated RCB’s bowlers like they were all bowling the first three overs of IPL, hitting everything out of the park. They gave their innings some structure and consistency that allowed them loads of momentum to create 231 in total. The RCB bowlers weren’t capable of containing runs through the first six overs of the Sunrisers innings, which was a huge cost.

2. Underwhelming Bowling Execution

RCB’s bowlers altogether misjudged the pitch, assuming it was a 170-type pitch, and even though there were some individual pieces of good bowling, on the whole, there was a strange inability to execute consistently, especially in the death. A few bowlers, like Bhuvneshwar and Krunal, more importantly, went for over 40 runs, comfortably putting the Sunrisers above the 230 mark.

3. Middle-Order Collapse in the Chase

Despite Phil Salt and Virat Kohli getting a decent start for RCB, the middle order let them down with silly dismissals. After the power play, there were 4 more wickets taken soon with no batter being able to set their foot down hold together the innings or form a consistent partnership. The drastic middle-order collapse and ultimately a score of 42 runs short, despite a reasonable platform.
