Under Moody, SRH won the title in 2016 and reached the playoff of IPL thrice, including the 2019 season. Following his brilliant journey, Sunrisers announced they have replaced legendary Australian cricketer Tom Moody who had been with SRH since 2013. He announced it before applying for the Indian National Cricket Team’s head coach role.

Moody will now be replaced by Trevor Bayliss, who led England to their maiden ICC Cricket World Cup triumph at Lord’s on July 14 (Sunday) in a thrilling final against New Zealand. Unfortunately, his arrival is delayed with IPL 2020 getting postponed.

Due to the coronavirus outbreak, things have taken a drastic turn with all major sporting events being cancelled altogether or postponed to a later date. In this regard, IPL 2020’s scheduled commencement, from March 29, has already been postponed to April 15. The further announcement will be made once the lockdown ends in the country.
