Legendary actor Rajinikanth has urged the owners of Sunrisers Hyderabad to bring in good players into the team so that they can win more matches in the Indian Premier League. The 72-year-old Tamil film icon made the appeal during the audio launch of his upcoming film ‘Jailer’.
Rajinikanth sympathised with the SRH owner Kalanithi Maran's daughter Kavya, who cheers for the team in every match they play and has become an internet sensation because of her expressions during games. But she gets more upset than happy as SRH haven't been winning games consistently in the IPL over the last few seasons.
Kavya Maran's appearance during SRH vs RR IPL match in Hyderabad has given the internet a field-day. The 2016 champions finished in last position on the points table in IPL 2023 with just four wins from 14 games under South African cricketer Aiden Markram's leadership.
Last season they fared slightly better and managed to end up 8th in the tournament. It has been three years since SRH last qualified for the playoffs in IPL 2020.
Thalaivar's appeal to SRH owner was clear. He said, "Kalanithi Maran should put good players in Sunrisers Hyderabad team. I feel bad seeing Kavya like that on TV during the IPL."
SRH's decision to release players like Kane Williamson, Rashid Khan and some of the other superstars players they had in the squad has also backfired on the franchise. They still have a talented bunch of cricketers like Abdul Samad, Rahul Tripathi, Heinrich Klaasen and Harry Brook but they have all struggled to fire as a collective unit consistently which has led to frequent defeats in the IPL.
The Orange outfit is reportedly on the lookout for a new head coach with West Indies legend Brian Lara likely to part ways with the team soon, although no official announcement has been made regarding this yet.
Rajinikanth also advised fans to 'have alcohol when you have fun' during the audio launch of his upcoming film ‘Jailer’. He said that this is the only way to ensure that people enjoy themselves and have a good time.
IPL Glam Squad: Preity Zinta to Kaviya Maran, meet the gorgeous & powerful team owners. It is quite amazing to see how these powerful women have taken charge of their respective teams and are doing a great job of it. Kavya Maran is no exception and has been a great source of inspiration for the SRH team.
Rajinikanth's plea to the SRH owners to bring in good players into the team is definitely a step in the right direction. With the new season around the corner, let's hope that the team can turn things around and put on a great show.
