Why Moeen Ali crucial cog in CSK’s wheel? Moeen was one of the 4 retained players by CSK before IPL Auction. He played a key role in the side winning their fourth IPL title last year with both bat and ball. 

  • As a Batsman: He was the third-highest scorer for Super Kings in 2021, hitting 357 runs in 15 innings at an average of 25.50 and strike rate of 137.30. That Moeen fulfilled his role of the aggressor could be seen from the fact that he was fifth on the list of batters with most sixes, with his count at 19.
  • As a Bowler: He proved out to be a handy offspinner for the team. He bowled a match-winning spell of 3 for 7 against Rajasthan Royals at the Wankhede Stadium in the initial part of IPL 2021.

Moeen has now retired from Test cricket and ply his trade in best of the T20 Leagues globally.

At the inaugural Hundred, he led Birmingham Phoenix to the final and then played a significant role in England making the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. More recently, he was instrumental in Comilla Victorians winning the Bangladesh Premier League.
