'Same Rajni Sir, same' - Fans react as Rajnikanth says he feels bad seeing SRH CEO Kavya Maran upset on TV during IPL

The SunRisers Hyderabad have struggled in the past few seasons of the Indian Premier League (IPL). In the 2023 season, the Aiden Markram-led franchise finished at the bottom of the table, winning four out of 14 matches. The squad has lost some star players like Jonny Bairstow, David Warner, Kane Williamson, and Rashid Khan over the last few seasons. The franchise is owned by media giant Sun Group owner Kalanithi Maran. His daughter and SunRisers’ CEO Kavya Maran is always a regular in the home games of SRH and is often seen as sad due to her team’s performance.

Kavya is often seen showcasing her passion from the VIP box or while building the squad during player auctions. But, she is never rewarded by her players. Over the seasons, spectators have grown accustomed to seeing a sad Kavya in the VIP box of the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. However, it is not only the spectators who have noticed the sad Kavya and felt bad for her, another one joining the party is Superstar Rajnikanth.

‘Kalanithi Maran should put good players in Sunrisers Hyderabad team’ – Superstar Rajnikanth

Seeing the SRH CEO upset with sad expressions in the VIP box has melted the heart of Superstar Rajnikanth. While speaking at the audio launch of the upcoming movie ‘Jailer’, produced by SRH owner Kalanithi Maran, he urged the media tycoon to buy better players for the squad as he feels bad seeing Kavya ‘like that’ on TV during IPL. Rajinikanth said, "Kalanithi Maran should put good players in Sunrisers Hyderabad team. I feel bad seeing Kavya like that on TV during the IPL."
