Riana Lalwani – The Super Over girl
The Super Over girl whose pictures are making rounds of the internet is Riana Lalwani, and she seems to be enjoying all the attention she is getting. Riana was supporting KXIP as she was seen cheering the team from the stands and after close to five hours, her favourite team defeated one of the strongest teams of the competition.
Interestingly, her bio also reads, “that super over girl.” She has even shared a hilarious meme in her Instagram stories.
