R. K. Mody's XI

R. K. Mody's XI were an Indian first-class cricket team, sponsored by the Indian business firm R.K. Mody and Company Limited, that competed in the Moin-ud-Dowlah Gold Cup Tournament from 1968-69 to 1971-72, playing four matches.

Their first match, against Hyderabad Blues in 1968-69, was abandoned without a ball bowled owing to rain.

Mody's XI were dismissed for 77, and had their opponents, Vazir Sultan Tobacco XI, 72 for 9 in search of the first-innings lead that would have decided the match, but a tenth-wicket partnership of eight was enough to take Vazir Sultan Tobacco XI into the semi-finals.
