Kavya Maran, owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad, felt puzzled when Karn Sharma, RCB’s leg-spinner, caught a sharp delivery off his own bowling. This dismissal sent Abdul Samad back to the pavilion, worsening SRH’s struggles.
The Faf du Plessis-led team is comfortably in control and on the verge of victory at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday, April 25.
Karn Sharma was inserted into the assault in the ninth over and had an immediate impact, removing Nitish Reddy. He extended his spell by striking off the opening delivery of the tenth over as well.
The leg-spinner delivered a regulation-length ball on the leg stump line. The right-handed hitter took a step down the track, attempting to move the ball to the leg side. He was unable to reach to the ball’s pitch in time, so he played a sluggish stroke with a straight bat instead.
Kavya Maran was furious with Samad’s decision-making at a time when SRH couldn’t afford to lose another wicket, and her emotions said it all.
Karn Sharma anticipated the direction after his follow-through and adjusted his body to the right, completing the grab with a well-timed dive. Look at the wicket here:
Karn Sharma gave only four runs in his second over, and his stats were 2-8 halfway through this stint. However, he was bowled by Pat Cummins in his third over and gave up 15 runs.
Kavya Maran’s Emotional Roller-Coaster During the Second Innings
Kavya Maran, one of the league’s most devoted franchise owners, attends all SRH events, including auctions and matches.
Kavya Maran played a quiet role in the first innings as the SRH bowling team allowed 206. Travis Head’s dismissal during the opening wicket of the run chase only made matters worse.
She was enthusiastic when Abhishek Sharma detonated in the powerplay, but nothing has gone well for her or SRH thereafter. SRH fell to 85-6 when Abdul Samad was dismissed in the tenth over.
