The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium turned into a cauldron of emotion during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Delhi Capitals (DC). As DC struggled with the bat, the crowd found more than just cricket to cheer for. SRH owner Kavya Maran, known for her passionate involvement, stole the spotlight with her euphoric celebration after a chaotic run-out. Delhi, reeling at 29 for five, saw a brief resistance from Vipraj Nigam and Tristan Stubbs, only for it to end in utter confusion. The dramatic dismissal became a viral moment, symbolizing SRH’s total control.
Vipraj Nigam’s run-out and Kavya Maran’s fierce passion captivate viewers
With Delhi reeling at 29 for 5, Stubbs and Vipraj attempted to rebuild amidst a hostile SRH bowling attack. But on the first ball of the 13th over, confusion reigned, Stubbs nudged the ball off Zeeshan Ansari’s bowling and called for a second run. Nigam hesitated, unsure, and both players ended up at the same end.
From the stands, Kavya was seen animatedly gesturing toward the fielders, seemingly directing them to throw to the bowler’s end. The throw came in sharp, the stumps were shattered, and the third umpire confirmed Nigam was out. Kavya erupted, clapping and beaming with joy, as the stadium roared. Her infectious celebration was caught on camera and is now circulating widely across social media platforms. It wasn’t just a wicket, it was a momentum-shifter. As Nigam trudged back, Kavya’s euphoric outburst symbolized SRH’s complete domination and her unwavering emotional investment in every moment on the field.

SRH bowlers dominate as Delhi Capitals Stumble to 133/7 in Hyderabad Clash
In a must-win encounter at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Sunrisers made full use of the conditions after electing to field first, dismantling the Capitals’ top order within the powerplay. Pat Cummins led from the front with an inspired spell, picking up 3 wickets for just 19 runs, while Jaydev Unadkat choked the runs with figures of 1/13. Delhi were in tatters at 29/5, with KL Rahul, Faf du Plessis, Karun Nair all falling cheaply. Stubbs (41 not out off 36) held one end but found little support until Ashutosh Sharma, brought in as an Impact Player, counter-attacked with a breezy 41 off 26 balls. The pair added 50 runs for the seventh wicket to push DC to 133/7, still a sub-par total. SRH’s fielding was electric, highlighted by a brilliant run-out of Vipraj, and their bowling plans were executed to perfection, leaving them firmly in control at the innings break.
