Despite the incident, Kaviya’s support for the team remains unwavering, and she will continue to cheer them on in their upcoming games.
Tripathi and Markram’s partnership ensures SRH’s comfortable win
Meanwhile, SRH’s victory against Punjab Kings was a much-needed boost for the team, which had suffered losses in their first two games. Rahul Tripathi’s unbeaten 74 off 48 balls and skipper Aiden Markram’s 37 off 21 balls were instrumental in the team’s successful chase. Mayank Markande also had an excellent outing, picking up four wickets for the team. With this win, SRH will look to build on their momentum and strive for more victories in the upcoming matches.
