The 20-year old has shared a good camaraderie with Moody, not only as a coach in the IPL but also as a guide. Moody has been praised by many as someone who possesses efficient man-management skills.

Rashid referred to Moody as a Champion Coach and wished him for a highly successful year ahead. He wrote, “Wishing a very Happy Happy Birthday to champion Coach @TomMoodyCricket . May you Have Wonderful year Ahead.”

Here’s the tweet:

Rashid, who was gradually acquiring limelight through his performances in his maiden stint with Sunrisers Hyderabad at IPL in 2017, gave due credit to Tom on how he allowed the youngster to express his natural game on the field.

Rashid deserves the due credit for his role in the upliftment of the cricket in his country.

It is majorly because of him that Afghanistan currently boast of such a deadly spin combination in the world.
