From what I have said, Moin Ali will be considered as one of the key players of CSK. CSK needs a player like him to strengthen the middle order. Moin Ali will be able to take the helm of the team. And he’s a good enough spin bowler. However, if he fails to perform as expected as a batsman, then Imran Tahir will play as his replacement. But I hope Moin Ali will not disappoint us. He will play well in the IPL this time.
Obviously when CSK is spending such a huge amount on him, they will be including him in the playing XI for most (if not all) of their matches. Unfortunately, that is bad news for players such as Tahir (and some of the pace bowlers), because Moeen eats up another valuable overseas slot.
