Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) owner Kavya Maran found herself in a state of bewilderment as Abdul Samad was dismissed by Karn Sharma during the intense IPL 2024 clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on April 25.
Maran, a staunch supporter of her team, emerged to rally behind the Sunrisers but was visibly disappointed with the batting display, particularly given the consistent performance of the SRH batters throughout the season.
In pursuit of a challenging target of 207 runs set by RCB, the Sunrisers struggled to maintain momentum, losing wickets at regular intervals. Maran’s reaction spoke volumes as Samad, a promising talent, fell victim to Sharma’s bowling, chipping the ball straight back to the bowler.
Reflecting on the match, RCB managed to keep their slim hopes of securing a spot in the 2024 Indian Premier League playoffs alive with a commanding 35-run victory over the Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Uppal Stadium on Thursday, April 25.
As the IPL season progresses, Maran’s disappointment echoes the sentiments of SRH loyalists, urging the team to regroup and bounce back stronger in the upcoming fixtures to salvage their campaign.
