The thinktank of the Sunrisers Hyderabad also has to be attributed some of the success this IPL season. With Tom Moody, VVS Laxman, and Muttiah Muralitharan at the helm, there is an experience of 799 international matches between the former cricketers.

Moody, who is the head coach, had coached Sri Lanka to the ICC World Cup Final in 2007. With Muralitharan as the bowling coach, the SRH bowlers have one of the best ever spinners to have played the game to guide them and help them handle the pressure.

Laxman's role as a mentor also has been beneficial to the players as the former Indian batsman has immense knowledge about the game, especially in the sub-continent conditions.
