Kavya Maran Reacts to Missed Free Hit, Becomes Instant Meme Sensation

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) finally won a match at Chepauk Stadium on Friday, breaking a six-game losing streak there. Their victory was thanks in part to their impressive bowling performance, which helped keep their playoff hopes alive. But it was a moment involving SRH’s CEO, Kavya Maran, that truly captivated the internet.

Maran is known for her enthusiastic reactions during matches, and this time was no different. In the 16th over, SRH’s Kamindu Mendis received a free hit after CSK bowler Noor Ahmad bowled a no-ball. Fans expected Mendis to take advantage of the free hit and score some runs. But instead, he swung at a wide ball and missed completely, resulting in a rare dot ball on a free hit.

Maran’s reaction to this missed opportunity was immediately noticed and shared online. People found it hilarious and relatable, turning her into a viral meme. This just goes to show how passionate fans are about the IPL and how even a split-second moment can become a memorable talking point.
