Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran had spent Rs 39.25 crore on 3 players before the IPL 2025 season. She hoped that the team would benefit from this but after the start of the IPL 2025 season, her decision seems to be proving wrong.

Every IPL franchise owner tries to ensure that whatever money they spend benefits their team. But it seems that Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran is facing a loss on the money she has spent. That too a loss of Rs 39.25 crore. This is being said because the 3 players on whom the SRH owner spent Rs 39.25 crore are not giving the kind of return on investment that the team expects and needs.

39.25 crores spent on 3 players

In the last IPL season, Sunrisers Hyderabad had reached the final. The team lost in the final but with its performance, this team won the hearts of the fans, while it instilled fear in the minds of the opposing teams. In such a situation, similar performance was expected from this team in the new season as well. But except for the first match of the season, Sunrisers have been repeatedly proving to be a failure in this season and a big reason for this is the team's explosive batting line-up, which has not performed as per its reputation.

In this too, the 3 players on whom Kavya Maran had spent a huge amount are disappointing the most. These three players are - Australia's star batsman Travis Head, young Indian opener Abhishek Sharma and wicketkeeper batsman Ishan Kishan. Looking at the performance of the last season, Head and Abhishek were retained for 28 crores. Kavya Maran had decided to give 14 crores each to both of them. At the same time, 11.25 crores were spent on Ishan Kishan in the mega auction.

Have you made a loss-making deal?

But except for the first match of the season, all three batsmen have been flops since then. In the first match, Hyderabad had scored a big score of 286 runs. In this, Ishaan played an explosive innings of 106 runs. Head scored 67 runs, while Abhishek also scored 24 runs quickly. After this, all three batsmen have been flops badly in the next 4 matches. Head has scored only 81 runs in the next 4 innings. The condition of Abhishek and Ishaan is even worse. Abhishek has scored 27 runs and Ishaan has scored only 21 runs in these 4 innings. In such a situation, the question will definitely arise - has Kavya Maran been cheated of Rs 39.25 crore?
