The 2016 champions had a disappointing run in the IPL 2023, finishing last on the points table with only four wins out of 14 games under the leadership of Aiden Markram. Kavya Maran, the CEO and owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad, can always be seen at the team’s matches, offering steadfast support.
Her sincere connection with the team is evident as cameras frequently capture her displaying disappointment throughout the highs and lows of the season. Actor Rajinikanth urged the owners of Sunrisers Hyderabad to strengthen their team with skilled players to improve their performance in the competitive Indian Premier League.
The 72-year-old Tamil film icon passionately aired his plea at the audio launch of his highly anticipated film ‘Jailer’. Rajinikanth also empathized with Kavya, the daughter of SRH owner Kalanithi Maran, who gained popularity on the internet due to her animated reactions during matches.

The team’s struggles to maintain a consistent winning streak over the past few seasons have been disheartening. In IPL 2023, SRH’s performance was lacklustre, securing the last position on the points table with only four wins out of 14 games under Aiden Markram’s captaincy.
In the previous season, they fared slightly better, finishing in the 8th position, but it has been three years since they last qualified for the playoffs, back in IPL 2020. The choice to remove players such as Kane Williamson and Rashid Khan, who were superstars on the team, has harmed the franchise.
Despite having talented cricketers like Abdul Samad, Rahul Tripathi, Heinrich Klaasen, and Harry Brook, the team struggled to perform cohesively, leading to frequent defeats in the IPL. Rajinikanth’s call to bolster the team with skilled players could help them secure more victories in the future and bring joy to Kavya and their fans.
