IPL Support Staff XI: Forming the best XI out of the support staff of the IPL 2017 sides

All-rounders

Tom Moody

Currently the head coach of the defending champions Sunrisers Hyderabad, Moody was also the coach of the Sri Lankan side which reached the final of the 2007 World Cup in West Indies.

But before becoming a world class coach, Moody was one of the most consistent all-rounders for Australia back in the 1980s and 90s. He was also a part of the world cup winning squad of 1999.

With the ability to perform well with the bat and the ball, Moody would have been a perfect fit in the T20 format. He featured in 76 ODIs for the Kangaroos where he scored 1211 runs at an average of 23.28 and also picked up 52 wickets at a bowling average of 38.73.

Daniel Vettori

One of the most successful bowlers to have come out of the New Zealand ranks, Vettori had a sensational career and was extremely successful in all 3 formats of the game. He was one of the few cricketers to have taken over 300 wickets and scored over 3000 runs as well.

He has a considerable amount of IPL experience on his side having captained the Royal Challengers Bangalore side to the final in 2011.

He played 34 IPL matches in total and bagged 28 wickets at a bowling average of 31.39. He also managed to 121 runs at an average of 15 during this time. He is the bowling coach of the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the tournament.
