Daniel Vettori, the former New Zealand captain, has assumed the role of head coach at Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL), replacing West Indies batting legend Brian Lara, as announced by the team on Monday.

Previously, Vettori served as the coach for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL and also worked as an assistant coach for the Australia men’s team.

Brian Lara, who initially worked as the batting coach at Hyderabad, took over as head coach last year. However, the team’s performance under his leadership resulted in a disappointing last-place finish in the 10-team league, with only four wins in 14 matches.

Sunrisers Hyderabad expressed their appreciation for Lara’s contributions during his two-year association with the team, bidding farewell to him on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, and extending their best wishes for his future endeavors.

Sunrisers Hyderabad has appointed former West Indies captain Brian Lara as their new head coach to take over from Australia’s Tom Moody, the Indian Premier League team said on Saturday.

Lara was Hyderabad’s batting coach and strategic advisor for the 2022 season, during which they finished eighth out of the 10 teams after losing eight games.

“The cricketing legend Brian Lara will be our head coach for the upcoming #IPL seasons,” Sunrisers tweeted. Moody leaves the team after his second stint as head coach following a spell as their director of cricket. The former all-rounder was recently named director of cricket for the Desert Vipers in the United Arab Emirates International League Twenty20 competition.

India’s new captain Jasprit Bumrah has made history by breaking the record of legendary West Indies batsman Brian Lara. Bumrah is not alone in England’s pacer Stuart Broad’s 29 runs on the second day of the Edgbaston Test on Saturday. 5 more runs were added from wide and wide. And 35 runs came in an over with a no ball.

This broke the record of Brian Lara and George Bailey. In 2003, Lara scored 28 runs off four boundaries and two sixes to Robin Peterson of South Africa. In 2013, Australian star George Bailey touched Lara with three sixes, two fours and a two in an over by Jimmy Anderson.
In 2020, South African spinner Keshav Maharaj joined England’s irregular spinner Joe Root with 3 fours and two sixes for 28 runs and joined Lara and Bailey.

Bumrah has surpassed Brian Lara, George Bailey and Keshav Maharaj to take India in test to a unique height. Congratulating Bumrah on setting a new world record, Lara wrote on social media on Twitter: “Congratulations to Jaspreet Bumrah for breaking the world record for highest runs in a Test over. Join me on the line to congratulate him, well done.”

Former India all rounder Yuvraj Singh holds the world record for hitting six sixes off seven balls in a crucial match like the 2007 T20 World Cup.
