Moody's Experience and Credentials
Moody is no stranger to franchise cricket. His past achievements include guiding the Oval Invincibles to victory in the Hundred, where they clinched their third successive title. His experience with teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Desert Vipers underscores his capability to lead LSG to new heights.
