Sunrisers cantered to a nine-wicket win against Royal Challengers Bangalore on Saturday to rise to the second spot in the points table.
“We are very specific in our training as to where we are playing, who the opposition is,” Moody said at the post-match press conference.
“We make sure that the players have the understanding of what their roles are and when they are called upon in certain stages [they deliver],” he added.
Sunrisers pace attack led by Marco Jansen (3-25) and ably supported by Umran Malik (1-19) and T Natarajan (3-10) left the star-studded RCB line-up rattled with pace, swing and seam.
“We knew the ball would swing today and knew Bhuvi [Bhuvneshwar Kumar] and Marco can use it to their advantage. Swinging the ball provides a challenge in the early overs specially when the opposition is trying to get a reasonably positive start, “ Moody said.
Pacer Jansen bowled a fiery second over to claim the wickets of Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Anuj Rawat.
