However, the franchise has shared a video of Kavya on social media in which she is seen boosting the morale of the team in the dressing room.
Kavya is seen saying in the video, "You all have made us very proud. I had to come here and tell you this. In fact, I mean, you have redefined the way we play T20 cricket. And everyone is talking about us. Today was not our day but really, did a great job with bat and ball. Thank you so much, and even though we finished last last year, I think it was because of the ability of you guys that all the fans came out in large numbers to support us. Everyone is talking about us. Even though KKR won, everyone is talking about the style of cricket we played. Thank you guys, take care of yourself. Don't look like this. Hum final me khel hai (We played in the final).”
