IPL 2025: Moeen Comes In As KKR Elect To Bowl First Against Dhoni-led CSK
Kolkata Knight Riders: Moeen Ali was included in the playing eleven of defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and elected to bowl first against the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 25 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium here on Friday.
Both CSK and KKR are ranked ninth and sixth, respectively, in the points table, and come into Friday’s clash on the back of defeats in their respective last games to Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). After winning the toss, Rahane said all-rounder Moeen replaces left-arm fast-bowler Spencer Johnson in the playing eleven.
KKR’s move to bring Moeen in at Chepauk is a tactical one, considering CSK have left-handed batters in Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Shivam Dube, and Ravindra Jadeja. “There were a lot of positives from the last game. We as a team played really well.
