Sunrisers Hyderabad sealed the spot in the Final of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 after a scintillating 36-run win over Rajasthan Royals in Qualifier 2 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai, on May 24 (Friday). The moment was big for SRH as they were reaching this stage after five seasons and the happiness of it was clearly visible on the face of their owner Kavya Maran.
Kavya Maran's epic celebration after SRH's win
Kavya Maran never misses an opportunity to support her team. There's hardly ever a SRH match, where she is not present in the stands, and things were no different in the Qualifier 2 clash against RR. Kabya was extremely happy after SRH sealed their spot in the final and she celebrated it in an epic manner. The video of her celebration went viral on the internet.
SRH to face KKR in Final
Now, SRH have once again earned the opportunity to face KKR in the Final of IPL 2024 and avenge their loss in Qualifier 1, where suffered an 8-wicket defeat at the hands of the Knight Riders. This forced them to face RR in the Qualifier 2.
RR won the toss and invited SRH to bat first. Hyderabad batters failed to turn their starts into big scores except Heinrich Klaasen who hit a 34-ball fifty. Hyderabad could only score 175/9 in 20 overs. However, RR could not capitalise on it and fell short in the second innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal did provide his team with a good start after hitting 21-ball 42 but no other Royals' batter could bank on it. Constant breakthroughs and disciplined bowling restricted RR to just 139/7.
