But Kavya’s most happiest moment arrived when SRH made it to the final with a 36-run victory Rajasthan Royals in the Qualifier 2 as she was seen in euphoric jubilation.
Her steadfast support for the team finally paid off and the moment of triumph was truly unforgettable.
SRH will not take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the final slated to be held at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday.
SRH posted 175-9 and restricted Rajasthan to 139-7, setting up an opportunity to avenge their defeat by Kolkata in the first qualifier on Tuesday.
Batting first, the 2016 champions Hyderabad couldn’t fully accelerate in the final overs but managed to post a competitive total.
Trent Boult rattled Hyderabad with his three-wicket burst before Travis Head (34) and Rahul Tripathi (37) steadied the innings.
Heinrich Klaasen struck a breezy 50 down the order but the late flourish Hyderabad expected did not materialise.
Yashasvi Jaiswal (42) led Rajasthan’s robust reply but their top order could not quite capitalise on it.
Dhruv Jurel smashed 56 off 35 balls but he did not get enough support from the other end.
Spinner Shahbaz Ahmed (3-23) led Hyderabad’s tidy bowling claiming 3-23, while all-rounder Abhishek Sharma also impressed claiming figures of 2-24.
