Moody brings a wealth of wisdom to fuel the Super Giants’ goal

Over the years, Tom Moody has ruled the cricket with his excellence in both bat and ball, but his coaching career is nothing short of glorious. During the 2007 ICC World Cup, he guided Sri Lanka towards the final match. He has also worked with CPL and BBL. Among all his achievements, Tom Moody’s golden stint with Sunrisers Hyderabad stands out.

 He masterminded their unforgettable 2016 IPL triumph and consistently led them to multiple playoff runs in the years that followed. Later on, he took the role of the Director of Cricket for SRH. As he is standing on the brink of a new beginning, LSG will have a massive boost with his arrival.
