NEW DELHI: Sunrisers Hyderabad co-owner, Kavya Maran, couldn't contain her excitement as she witnessed Rajasthan Royals batter Riyan Parag's dismissal during the IPL Qualifier 2 in Chennai on Friday.
The exuberant moment prompted her to break into a joyful dance, encapsulating the sheer thrill and passion that cricket ignites among fans and stakeholders alike.
The incident happened in the 12th over when Shahbaz Ahmed got rid of dangerous Parag to push RR's chase on the backfoot while defending a total of 175. RR were down to 79-4 in 11.1 overs.
Maran's spontaneous celebration not only reflects her deep investment in the team but also underscores the emotional rollercoaster that accompanies every twist and turn of the game.
Cricket has a unique ability to unite people from all walks of life, transcending boundaries and fostering a shared sense of camaraderie and belonging.
Earlier, Sandeep Sharma, the master operator on tacky surfaces, made use of his skill-sets to optimum effect as Rajasthan restricted Hyderabad to a decent yet manageable 175 for 9.
