Kavya Maran devastated as her team SRH loses to KKR in finals
SRH owner Kavya Maran was much devastated on her team losing to KKR in the grand-finale of the Tata IPL 2024 finals at the Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai on Sunday 26 May 2024 by 8 wickets.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ended their impressive IPL 2024 campaign on a perfect and calculated note as the Shreyas Iyer-led side comfortably KKR ousted Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the final to clinch the title.
It was the third IPL title for Kolkata Knight Riders after 2012 and 2014. Andre Russell took three wickets while Vaibhav Arora and Mitchell Starc took two each as KKR sent SRH packing for just 113.
In response, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Venkatesh Iyer looked in tremendous form to guide their side to a convincing eight-wicket victory. Following the match, SRH owner Kavya Maran could not control her tears as she waved towards the crowd and the video of her reaction after the match has gone viral on social media.
On the other hand, celebrations erupted in the KKR camp as they grabbed a well-deserved victory.
Crediting Abhishek Nayar for the way he’s worked for the franchise, and with some contributions going unnoticed,
Venkatesh Iyer said that Abhishek was the one who built this Indian core. They waited for 10 years, credit to the management and the coaching staff.
This was KKR’s first IPL title in a decade and it came under the mentorship of Gautam Gambhir. Incidentally, they won their last two titles with Gambhir serving as their captain.
Nitish Rana when asked on Gambir’s impact, asserted that when Gautam Gambhir was appointed as mentor he had messaged him and said that he was very happy that he’s coming back to KKR, but he said that he would be happy if they are on that podium lifting the trophy. Today is that day and he will never forget that message.
He added he feels outstanding right now that dream has come true – he has been here for 7 years and are so happy. Credit to GG sir. He will finally lift the IPL trophy. It was God’s plan.
