Indian Premier League (IPL) never fails to deliver drama both on and off the field, and this time, it was Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) CEO Kavya Maran who unintentionally stole the spotlight. During SRH’s tense yet successful chase against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), a bizarre moment involving Kamindu Mendis and Kavya’s animated reaction turned into instant internet gold, sparking a flood of memes and jokes across social media platforms.

Kavya Maran’s reaction on Kamindu Mendis missing a free-hit breaks the internet

In the 16th over of SRH’s modest chase of 155, Chennai’s Noor Ahmad handed Mendis a golden opportunity by overstepping, offering a crucial free hit. The stage was perfectly set — a loose ball, a free swing, and the chance to hammer it out of the park. However, Mendis swung wildly at the tossed-up delivery, missed it completely, and left fans scratching their heads.

But while the Chennai supporters let out a sigh of relief, it was Kavya’s priceless expression that became the highlight of the moment. The cameras, which have developed an uncanny habit of finding Kavya during such dramatic instances, caught her looking visibly stunned and almost comically frustrated.

Here’s how fans reacted:

Despite the momentary setback, Sunrisers Hyderabad eventually crossed the finish line, thanks to stellar performances from Harshal Patel, Pat Cummins, and a spirited knock by Ishan Kishan. Harshal’s clever bowling earned him figures of 4/28, while Cummins’ consistency kept Chennai’s batting under check. Although SRH kept losing wickets at regular intervals during the chase, the collective efforts ensured they stayed afloat in the competition.

In the post-match presentation, Cummins highlighted the team’s focus and resilience, stating, “Good to see a few smiles. It was pretty clinical.” Yet, ironically, the loudest smiles of the evening came from the endless stream of memes featuring Kavya’s reaction, turning a small missed shot into one of the most talked-about moments of IPL 2025. With Hyderabad still hanging by a thread in the race for the playoffs, every match ahead is a must-win.
