The background
Moeen Ali has troubled the Indian batsmen a lot with his off-spin in English conditions. The Indian batsmen, who are known to be fine players of spin, have surprisingly not been able to counter Ali. In the previous ODI series played between India and England, Ali was able to pick the wicket of Virat Kohli in the 2nd ODI played at Lord’s. Ali was also a part of Virat Kohli’s team Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL 2018 and 2019.
The heart of the matter
During his interview, Ali heaped praises on the Indian skipper saying that he is a motivated, driven and dedicated cricketer. He revealed that he knows Kohli from his under-19 days and that he is a very chilled guy outside the cricket field. Ali even compared his IPL friendship with Kohli to the one between Jonny Bairstow and David Warner.
Shifting his focus to the mega match set to take place this Sunday, the offie said -
Moeen Ali spoke about Yuzvendra Chahal’s humorous side during the IPL season while also saying they will face him with a positive mindset at Edgbaston.
The Englishman accepted that Australia outplayed them at Lord’s but he felt that they had no chance of losing the game against Sri Lanka.
What’s next?
Virat Kohli and Moeen Ali will be in action this Sunday in what promises to be an iconic match between India and England.
