Tom Moody & SRH have decided to part ways mutually. This means Tom Moody’s second stint with SRH as their Head Coach is over. The franchise hasn’t named the replacement for Moody yet.

In 28 matches that SRH had played under Moody’s guidance, they could emerge victorious in just nine of them & lost 18 matches with one resulting in a tie.
SRH ended IPL 2022 at the Eight Spot in the Points Table
In 2022, Sunrisers finished eighth in the 10-team tournament, with six wins and eight defeats.
