Moeen Ali will not be available for Chennai Super Kings against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. In the recent games, Moeen had done a good job. Hence, it could be tough for CSK to find an apt replacement. Moeen had been doing well in both the departments. With the bat, as well, he was slowly getting to his best. This makes it hard for CSK to loose the experienced name. Nevertheless, the CSK management will have some ideas with them. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two players who can replace Moeen Ali in the CSK XI for the game against RCB.
1) Mitchell Santner
One of the weaknesses of RCB batters is slow left-arm off-spin. CSK already have Ravindra Jadeja, who is one of the best in the business. He has troubled RCB before, as well. Now, CSK would want to choke the RCB batters in the middle overs and for this, they could unleash Santner.
Yes, the last games have not been great for Santner but he is a class player and he can be backed to come good. He might not provide the same stability as Moeen with the bat but if Santner can have a good outing with the ball, that will be enough for CSK.
2) Nishant Sindhu
Nishant Sindhu is one of the players who can replace Moeen Ali in the CSK XI for the game against RCB. The Indian youngster could finally make his debut after spending a lot of time on the bench. With Moeen Ali not in the team, CSK could need an extra spinner and a middle-order batter.
Nishant is new to the tournament but that could be his advantage. Some of the RCB batters might not have faced him a lot before. Therefore, this could be used as an advantage for CSK. Of course, he will add more balance to the setup.
