Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most-watched cricket leagues in the world. Every year, it breaks numerous TRP records as some of the biggest names in the cricket world participate in this league with 10 teams (as of 2023). The league's growing popularity can be understood by the fact that IPL started with eight teams back in 2008.
However, in the coming years, we have seen a series of new teams replacing the old ones. One such team that has garnered a lot of attention is Sunrisers Hyderabad, which was founded in 2012 after the termination of Deccan Chargers and made its debut in the IPL 2013 season.

The franchise cricket team, Sunrisers Hyderabad, is based in Hyderabad, Telangana, India and is owned by business tycoon, Kalanithi Maran. The media mogul is the Chairman and Founder of the Sun Group. From owning television channels, newspapers, DTH services, FM stations and much more, Kalanithi Maran is one of the richest men in India.

Coming back to the team, Sunrisers Hyderabad, it is currently coached by one of the greats of the game, Brian Lara. But, talking about the team’s captain, is 28-year-old young South African cricketer, Aiden Markram, who is currently leading the squad. Sunrisers Hyderabad’s home stadium is the famous Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad, which has a capacity of 55,000 people.
Everyone is aware of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s owner, Kalanithi Maran, but not many know much about his daughter, Kaviya Maran, who is the co-owner of the same IPL team. The doting daughter of the billionaire businessman has grabbed eyeballs for her appearances in the stadiums. From people falling for her infectious smile to netizens declaring her as the ‘national crush for cricket fans’, Kaviya has been right at the centre of the spotlight.
Kaviya Maran is currently one of the most famous female entrepreneurs in India. Apart from being the co-owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad, the 31-year-old businesswoman is also engaged in managing SUN music and RM channels of the famous SUN TV. While Kaviya’s father, Kalanithi Maran needs no introduction, not everyone is aware of the fact that she is the granddaughter of former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, M Karunanidhi.

We have repeatedly seen sports photographers zoom in to show Kaviya Maran’s reactions during the IPL matches. In the beginning, when her pictures and videos went viral on the internet, people tagged her as ‘mystery girl of IPL’.

But before we look into it, let’s talk about Sunrisers Hyderabad’s journey so far in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Well, it has been a comfortable ride for them.

With so many incredible players over the years, they’ve always managed to scare their opponents even before the first bowl.
Let's look into the team of Sunrisers Hyderabad. There are tons of great bowlers like Bhuvansehwar Kumar, Marco Jansen, Umran Malik, T Natarajan, Washington Sundar, Adil Rashid, Fazalhaq Farooki, and the list goes on that makes Sunrisers Hyderabad one of the bowling sides in IPL. Other than the bowlers mentioned above, one key player that has the ability to make a difference is Harry Brook, who is a young English batsman.
