From Kaviya Maran to Aditi Hundia, women who grabbed IPL cameramen's attention over the years

The 'mystery girl' that grabbed the attention of the cameramen is Kaviya Maran - the CEO of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). She is the daughter of Kalanithi Maran and is involved with SUN music and FM channels of SUN TV. 

She first grabbed the attention in the 2018 season when she was spotted supporting SRH in a match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).

During the mini-auction for the 2021 season, the camera panned towards the SRH table and fans got talking about her on social media.

She also grabbed the attention of netizens after she was seen frustrated after SRH's loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Chennai.

Navnita Gautam is the massage therapist for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Gautam is from Canada and worked with the Toronto Nationals in Global T20 League.

As she always wanted to be associated with cricket, especially IPL, she shifted her base to India in 2017. 

She was appointed by RCB in October 2019 and this news had grabbed the headlines all over. The reason being the lack of female support staff members in the IPL. 

During an IPL 2018 clash in Pune between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), the camera found someone sitting tensely. 

Her tense look combined with her simple beauty had got social media curious and it was later revealed that the 'mystery woman' was the sister of CSK pacer Deepak Chahar. Her name is Malti Chahar and she was present at the Stadium to support her brother. 

Malti is a die-hard MS Dhoni fan and keeps uploading photos of Dhoni on her official Instagram account. Not just Deepak, she even was to support her other brother Rahul who plays from MI.

It was during the IPL 2019 final between Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI), that the cameraman's focus shifted from the match and to one particular 'mystery girl' who was cheering from the stands. With social media asking questions, it came to be known that her name was Aditi Hundia. Soon after, her Instagram followers crossed over 100k within a few hours. 

Aditi Hundia is a model and has taken part in Miss India 2017 pageant where she was crowned Miss India Rajasthan. She even won the Miss Diva 2018 pageant and was crowned Miss Diva Supranational. She represented India at the prestigious Miss Supranational contest in Poland. 

While she is said to be a fan of MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli, she was seen supporting Mumbai Indians in the IPL and often spotted cheering the team in the stands.

The reason for her support for MI comes due to the rumours of her dating India's emerging star cricketer Ishan Kishan.

Riana Lalwani, who was spotted during the Mumbai Indians (MI) vs Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) game at the IPL 2020 clash in Dubai, became the centre of attraction. 

Her presence during the game's Super Overs led to tremendous internet speculation. Her photo broke the internet and netizens found her out soon.

On her Instagram page, it is said that she is from Dubai and even tagged herself as ‘That Super Over girl’.
