It is a known fact that Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) have struggled in the past few seasons in the Indian Premier League. They finished at the bottom in IPL 2023 with just 4 wins from 14 matches. The constant chopping and changing has not helped as SRH got rid of David Warner first and the Kane Williamson while also not retaining Jonny Bairstow and Rashid Khan.
Speaking about the same, superstar actor Rajnikanth took a soft dig at CEO Kavya Maran, who also happens to be the daughter of team owner Kalanithi Maran.
Notably, fans see her passion when she is either picking the team at the auction table or expressing herself in the stands. Over the last two editions, the fans have been used to seeing an upset Kavya more than a happy Kavya in the VIP box of the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad, the homeground of SRH.
While speaking at the audio launch of his upcoming film 'Jailer', which is being produced, he requested SRH owner and producer of the film Kalanithi Maran to 'put good players' in the team as he cannot see he feels bad looking Kavya 'like that'.
Rajinikanth said, "Kalanithi Maran should put good players in Sunrisers Hyderabad team. I feel bad seeing Kavya like that on TV during the IPL."
This request from 'Thalaiva' to the SRH owner has gone viral now on the internet, garnering reactions from he fans.
