Sunrisers Hyderabad Ownership Dispute: The IPL (Indian Premier League) team may increase the difficulties of CEO Kavya Maran of Sunrisers Hyderabad (Sunrisers Hyderabad). The reason is the big controversy going on inside his family … Kalanidhi Maran, the owner of the Sun Network, a large media company of South India, has been seriously accused of money laundering (money laundering). This case has been raised by his brother and former MP Dayanidhi Maran.
The real dispute is about shareholding in Sun Network. Before 2003, the Maran family and the Karunanidhi family had an equal stake in this company, but after 2003 it changed. It is alleged that companies like Sun Direct TV, Sun Pictures, FM Channel and even IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) were created by using the company’s fund.
Now if the court decides that the old share pattern (2003) is restored, then the ownership of Sun Network may change. This can also affect IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad.
In such a situation, BCCI may have to come in the middle and take a decision and maybe Sun TV has to sell the team. If this happens, Kavya Maran, who is seen in every match in IPL, should not be the mistress of the team next time. If this dispute is not resolved soon, it can become a bad dream for Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) team and its fans.
How was SRH performance in IPL 2025
In IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad’s performance was very poor. In a total of 14 IPL matches, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 6 wins 7 defeats and a benti match at the sixth position. Kavya Maran had retained Henrich Klassen (23 crore), Pat Cummins (18 crore), Travis Head (14 crore), Abhishek Sharma (14 crore), Nitish Kumar Reddy (6 crore) for this season. But the performance of these Khiladis was not the same as compared to 2023, which was expected to them.
