Former Sunrisers Hyderabad head coach Tom Moody has revealed his team of the tournament for IPL 2020. The ongoing competition is just one game away from coming to an end. Defending champions Mumbai Indians will be taking on Delhi Capitals in the much-anticipated final on Tuesday (November 10).

Delhi Capitals booked their place in the final of IPL for the very first time with a 17-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the second qualifier on Sunday. The Shreyas Iyer-led side has already lost to Mumbai Indians thrice this season and will be desperate to end on the right side of the result in the final. Mumbai Indians, on the other hand, are eyeing their fifth IPL title.

Tom Moody’s Team of the Tournament

Tom Moody has compiled a star-studded lineup for his team of the tournament. His team consists of three players from Mumbai Indians, two each from Royal Challengers Bangalore, Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals and one each from Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kings XI Punjab. Following the rules, he has picked seven Indians and four overseas players in the team.

For the opening slots, he picked Delhi Capitals’ Shikhar Dhawan and Kings XI Punjab’s KL Rahul. At present, Rahul is the top-scorer of IPL 2020 with 670 runs followed by Dhawan at the second spot with 603 runs. Dhawan has the opportunity to overtake Rahul in the upcoming final. At number three, Moody has picked Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav who has scored 461 runs so far.

For the middle-order, the former cricketer has gone with Royal Challengers Bangalore’s AB de Villiers and Mumbai Indians’ Ishan Kishan. De Villiers finished IPL 2020 with 454 runs while Kishan has so far piled up 483 runs. For the all-rounder’s spot, Moody has picked Rajasthan Royals’ Rahul Tewatia who made a big mark with his finishing ability and leg-spin.

In the bowling department, Moody has picked up two pacers and two spinners. Rashid Khan and Yuzvendra Chahal are the two spinners while Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer are the two pacers. Chahal and Rashid have picked up 21 and 20 respectively in the tournament while Bumrah will have a chance to increase his tally of 25 wickets in the final. Archer, on the other hand, finished IPL 2020 with 20 wickets.
