Who is Kaviya Maran? Sunrisers Hyderabad owner goes viral after Bangalore defeat 

Kaviya Maran is the daughter of SRH owner Kalanithi Maran. The 29-year-old is a co-owner of the franchise and is involved with Sun Music and FM channels of Sun TV.  Kalanithi is the son of the former Union Minister of India Murasoli Maran and grand-nephew of former Tamil Nadu chief minister M. Karunanidhi. He is the chairman and founder of the Sun TV Group and has a stake in TV channels, newspapers, weeklies, FM Radio stations, DTH services and a movie production house.

According to reports, Kaviya is a B.Com graduate from Stella Maris College, Chennai and has an MBA from Leonard N Stern School of Business, New York University. Kaviya Maran is heavily involved in running the of Sunrisers Hyderabad and made many heads turn with her presence during the IPL 2020 Auction.

SRH have got off to the worst start in the IPL 2021, losing both their games. While it is still early days, the manner in which they lost the games will hurt David Warner and co., after the Orange Army let the game slip on both occasions despite being far ahead. The loss against RCB particularly disappointed Kaviya Maran, who looked visibly disappointed with the team from the stats.

The pictures immediately went viral on the social media platforms like Twitter where she looked angry and frustrated as SRH lumped to their second consecutive loss of the season. Maran and the fans will hope that the franchise can turn a corner and return to their best form, as they gear up to face defending champions Mumbai Indians on Saturday.
