SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) CEO and co-owner, Kavya Maran, experienced a rollercoaster of emotions when Nicholas Pooran of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) dropped Travis Head during the seventh match of the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL).
The match is being held on Thursday, March 27, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. The incident occurred on the first ball of the sixth over of SRH’s innings. Ravi Bishnoi delivered a full-length ball, and Head attempted to launch it into the stands but mistimed his lofted shot, directing it toward long-on.
Nicholas Pooran had ample time to position himself and appeared to have the catch under control, getting both hands on the ball, only to let it slip. As the Australian opener got a lifeline, SRH’s co-owner Kavya Maran reacted emotionally, leaping from her seat in visible relief. You can watch the video here:
