Amitabh recognized them as one of the top teams of the season and expressed his disappointment that Kavya Maran, the owner of SRH, had chosen to keep her tears hidden following her team's defeat in the IPL 2024 Winner Cup.

Kavya was seen in shock in the stands on Sunday night in Chennai when KKR defeated SRH by eight wickets to earn the IPL 2024 winner title. She turned her back on the camera and started crying as she gave KKR a standing ovation. In a widely shared video, she was seen wiping away her tears.

Addressing the moment, Amitabh wrote on his blog, “The IPL Final is over and KKR have WON a most convincing victory .. SRH were simply outplayed .. disappointing in many ways because SRH is a good team and one has seen their very grand performances over the days when they played other matches.”

“But what was most touching to observe was the pretty young lady , .. the owner of SRH, in the Stadium, get emotional after the loss and break into tears, turning her face away from the cameras, so as not to display her emotion .. I felt bad for her !! Never mind .. tomorrow is another day .. my dear !!” he added.

In the Sunday night IPL final, SRH was the first side to be knocked out due to not having enough runs on the board. In less than 20 overs, the team reached 113 runs. SRH scored the lowest total in an IPL final and the third-lowest total in the IPL after losing every wicket against KKR's bowlers. The KKR team easily reached their goal of 114. With 10 overs remaining, the team quickly claimed the IPL 2024 cup, losing just two wickets in the match.

Amitabh was cheering on the Mumbai Indians during this season. He was also seen attending a few MI matches. Amitabh was devastated by the team's early elimination from the IPL 2024, though.
