The greatest surprise came when the former Australian cricket named his favorite coach this season, and it is none other than Ashish Nehra, chief coach of Gujarat Titans. Moody has been surprisingly chosen the old Pacler Indian Nehra on Andy Flower, Rahul Dravid, LuckNow Super Giants’ lead coach, Justin Langer, and even Punjab Kings main coach, Ricky Ponting.

On the other hand, under Ricky Ponting, PBKs has qualified for the first time qualification 1 since 2014. They are now one of the strongest contenders to lift the trophy this season. On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals, Chennai Super Kings and Lucknow Super Giants have poor campaigns.
However, Delhi Capitals had a great start under the new Captain Axar Patel, but they lost their impetus in the crucial stage of the tournament and lost the opportunity to do it in the playoffs. Now RCB, MI, PBKs and GT are on the race to become the IPL 2025 champions.
