Kavya Maran master mind behind the scene: Whenever the camera pans towards the stands on the cricket field. A smiling, energetic face is visible. The entire stadium and crores of fans watching on TV take only one name, Kavya Maran. Kavya Maran, owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad, has today become not only a businesswoman but also a big 'icon' of the cricket world. But Kavya's story is not limited to her beauty only. She is the 'chess player' behind the game, who surprises even the biggest players with her moves.
Kavya Maran is often called the 'National Crush of IPL'. His simplicity and his changing expressions on the team's win and loss in the stadium go viral on social media within minutes. But those who consider her just a 'glamorous face' are not aware of her business skills.
Kavya, daughter of Sun Group owner Kalanithi Maran, is herself involved in every small and big activity of her team 'Sunrisers'. Be it selection of players or boosting the morale of the team, Kavya always plays on the front foot.
Kavya Maran's real strength is visible when she sits at the 'auction table'. His specialty is to bid on players with a cool mind, with paddle in hand, and choose the best combo for his team. Be it buying Pat Cummins at a record price or betting on explosive players like Travis Head, Kavya's strategies have once again made Sunrisers a dreaded team. She doesn't just invest money, but also comes to the table with players' statistics and future planning.

Kavya Maran is not one of those owners who just watches the match sitting in an air-conditioned cabin. Be it the scorching heat or the exciting matches that last till late night, she remains present in the stands and encourages her team. Her joy at the players' boundaries and her disappointment at the fall of wickets shows how emotionally attached she is to her team.
Kavya Maran's empire is no longer limited to India only. She is also making her mark in global leagues. In this sequence, his team 'Sunrisers Leeds' has become the center of discussion in England's famous league 'The Hundred'.
In the recent draft, Kavya's team has included Pakistani leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed in its team. As soon as this news came out, a new debate broke out in the social media and cricket world. Amidst the ongoing strained cricket relations between India and Pakistan, the selection of a Pakistani player by an Indian owned team is not going down well with many people.
Critics argue that when Pakistani players are not part of the IPL, Indian franchises in foreign leagues should avoid selecting them.
On the other hand, cricket pundits are considering this as a pure 'professional' move by Kavya Maran. Abrar Ahmed is known for his 'mystery spin' and he can prove to be a deadly weapon on the pitches of England. For Kavya, this decision is probably a big risk taken above emotions for the strength of the team.
