Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kavya Maran was ecstatic after her side defeated Rajasthan Royals by one run at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Chasing 202, Rajasthan fell short by a solitary run in a gripping chase as excellent bowling from Bhuvneshwar Kumar sealed a thrilling win for SRH.

Kavya was happy with the result and could be seen jumping in a video released by the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Kaviya, who is the daughter of Sunrisers Hyderabad owner Kalanithi Maran, is regularly seen in the stands while supporting her team.

Regarding the game, Bhuvneshwar Kumar snapped three wickets, including that of Rovman Powell off the last delivery of the game.

RR had been put in a comfortable position to claim a ninth win from 10 games as Riyan Parag and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored fifties after an early couple of wickets from Bhuvneshwar. While Rajasthan still sit at the top of the points table, SRH are back into the top four, with their sixth win from 10 games.

Powered by fifties from Travis Head and Nitish Reddy, Sunrisers Hyderabad posted 201/3 against the Rajasthan Royals. While Head put together a rather uncharacteristic knock, 58 off 44 deliveries, Reddy was in firm control of his knock as he laced eight sixes and three fours to score 76 off 42 deliveries.

Sunrisers Hyderabad ascended to fourth place in the points table. Rajasthan Royals remain at the top.

Among the top four are the Kolkata Knight Riders, who occupy second place with six victories from nine games, and the Lucknow Super Giants, who climbed to third position after defeating Mumbai Indians on Tuesday.
