But her tears didnt go unnoticed by acting legend Amitabh Bachchan like several netizens.
In his personal blog, Bachchan wrote, The IPL Final is over and KKR have WON a most convincing victory .. SRH were simply outplayed .. disappointing in many ways becuse SRH is a good team and one has seen their very grand performances over the days when they played other matches ..
But what was most touching to observe was the pretty young lady , .. the owner of SRH, in the Stadium, get emotional after the loss and break into tears, turning her face away from the cameras, so as not to display her emotion .. I felt bad for her !!
Never mind .. tomorrow is another day .. my dear !!

KKR lift IPL trophy for third time
In an allround performance, KKR outplayed SRH by 8 wickets on Sunday to lift the IPL trophy for the third time.
Right from the beginning, KKR dominated the game picking SRH wickets at regular intervals giving no chance to the opponent to even smell a comeback.
The pacers- led by Mitchell Starc, Andre Russell and Harshit Rana- did most of the damage to SRH batting picking 7 wickets in total leaving the rest for the spinners.
Rattled by KKRs bowling, SRH could just add 113, a below par score, on board.
Venkatesh Iyers unbeaten 52 from 26 balls and Rahmanullah Gurbazs 39 from 32 made it look for KKR a cakewalk to hunt down the nominal target.
