IPL 2025: It Was Hard To Replace Sunil But I Did A Fair Job, Says Moeen Ali After KKR’s Win
Kolkata Knight Riders: Playing his first IPL game for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Moeen Ali stood up in the absence of an unwell Sunil Narine to pick 2-23 and play a vital hand in the defending champions winning over Rajasthan Royals by eight wickets at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
After winning the match, Moeen said he did a fair job of stepping up as Narine’s replacement. “It was nice. I have been practicing well. I was told this morning that Sunil was not well. It was hard to replace Sunil, but I did a fair job. Those are the wickets you enjoy the most, try and open the batters up, spin the ball as much as you can.”
“Really good, really good bunch of guys, it's been amazing so far. Trying to get better at 37 years old. It's a very, very balanced side; all these players are amazing, Narine, Russell, and Quinny are always guaranteed to play, so it's tough to get in. Take your chance when it comes and make the most of it,” said Moeen after the match ended.
