Moeen Ali was CSK’s best overseas player in the 1st half of the IPL this season. In 6 matches, Ali racked up 206 runs for CSK and scalped 5 wickets. However, there is a strong chance that Moeen Ali might be unavailable for the UAE leg of IPL 2021. CSK will have to find an ideal replacement. Here is a list of 3 players who can replace Moeen Ali in the CSK squad:
3. Marnus Labuschagne
Marnus Labuschagne is a potential candidate to replace Moeen Ali in the CSK squad. Labuschagne endured a superb outing in the Big Bash League this season. In 6 matches in the BBL this season, Labuschagne amassed an impressive 176 runs in total. Labuschagne also scalped an impressive 10 wickets in total in the BBL this season. Marnus Labuschagne could wreak havoc for CSK in the 2nd leg of the IPL this season.
2. Devon Conway
New Zealand cricketer Devon Conway is another potential candidate to replace Moeen Ali in the CSK squad. Conway has been brilliant for New Zealand in the shortest format of the game. Moreover, Conway is also a very flexible batsman, and can also bat at the no 3 positions if required. It will be quite intriguing to see how Devon Conway performs for CSK in the UAE leg of IPL 2021.
1. Alex Hales
At no 1 in this list is England cricketer Alex Hales. Hales was the highest run-getter in the BBL this season. Hales racked up an impressive 543 runs for Sydney Thunder in the BBL this season. Hales has also scored an impressive 335 runs in the ongoing English T20 Blast. Alex Hales could run riot with the bat for CSK in the UAE leg of IPL 2021.
