5 similarities between Sunrisers Hyderabad (2016) and Deccan Chargers (2009)

#4 Both were coached by an Australian

Tom Moody and Darren Lehmann were the respective coaches

Tom Moody, the towering Australian, who stands at 6’7’’, silently built up a side that found the right combination amongst a mix of experience and youth. In a team that had veterans like Yuvraj Singh and Ashish Nehra, and prodigious talents like Mustafizur Rahman and Deepak Hooda, Moody combined with Warner to construct a strong side.

On the same line, 2009 saw Adam Gilchrist combining with another Australian all-rounder, the left-handed Darren Lehmann, who found the right mix to take Deccan Chargers to the title.Both Moody and Lehmann, who used to bat in the top order, were born in South Australia. The similarities don’t end there, as both have the same number of ODI wickets too(52) !
