Netizens' new crush! Who is the mystery girl sitting at SRH's table during IPL 2021 auction?

The mystery girl in the SRH camp who grabbed eyeballs is Kaviya Maran – the CEO of SRH. During the auction, the camera panned towards the SRH table and fans got talking about her on social media.

She is the daughter of Kalanithi Maran and is involved with SUN music and FM channels of SUN TV. She was first seen on television during the 2018 season of IPL, where she was seen supporting SRH in a match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). 

This is not the first time Kaviya has made an appearance at the auction for her franchise. She is also a regular at venues wherever SRH plays. 

During the auction, Kaviya had taken to Twitter and gave fans update saying that SRH was happy with the way the auction panned out.

Kaviya’s tweet: "We are very happy with how things have gone so far!"
