‘Kitni pyaari hai ye’ – Fans react as Kaviya Maran bids for SRH and gets Travis Head from IPL auction 2024

The owner of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Kaviya Maran, has been at the auction table in the IPL 2024. Maran took part in the bidding war for the franchise at the auction table and got the star batter Travis Head in their squad. It was a terrific battle between SRH and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the hall. But before it could happen, there was a long halt in the arena, as no team seemed to buy him.

It took SRH to raise their barrel in the arena to get the first bid for Travis Head. From there, CSK joined the battle and kept on raising the price of the star cricketer. From what seemed to be a surprising miss, it turned out to be a good day for Head, as he was bagged at a price of INR 6.8 crores in the auctions, which is a good price for an overseas batter.

Head was brilliant in the ODI World Cup 2023. In both the semifinal and the final of the tournament, Head played a key role as he became the Player of the Match in both the Knockout games. In the semifinal, Head scored 62(47) with the bat and claimed 2 wickets with the ball. In the final, Head scored 137 runs in 120 balls and took the game away from the home side.

SRH also brought some big names to the auction. Apart from getting a star player like Travis Head, SRH also eyed the big players like Wanindu Hasaranga and Pat Cummins. The South Indian franchise SRH got Hasaranga for a price of INR 1.5 crores, which is a steal. The base price of the player was at INR 1.5 crores. SRH got him for the same price.

Sunrisers Hyderabad became a part of history at the IPL auction, as they bought Cummins at a record price of INR 20.50 crores, which is now a record in the biggest cricket league. No player has ever bagged a better price at an auction. Kaviya Maran seemed so happy after getting the required players in the IPL auction 2024.
