Introducing the trio to the rest of the squad at the ground before the training session, Moody said:
"We've got a couple of new arrivals to the Orange Army. Welcome Washi, good to have you here, mate, a new addition to the Orange Army. Bhuvi - a veteran of the Orange Army. And welcome back, one of the great fast bowlers, Dale. Not playing, coaching only."

Dale Steyn was part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad setup as a player from 2013 to 2015. He went on to represent the Gujarat Lions and Royal Challengers Bangalore after his stint with the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The South African pacer retired from all formats of cricket last year. The role of bowling coach with the 2016 IPL winners marks the first venture in his coaching career.
