Chennai Super Kings were clinical in the recently concluded 14th edition of the Indian Premier League. They overshadowed their competitors with all their victories and showed the class that they possess. One of the revelations for CSK was Moeen Ali who shined with both bat and ball. In a way, MS Dhoni save Moeen Ali’s international career.

Moeen Ali was bought by CSK in the 2021 auction for Rs. 7 crores. Ali’s T20 international career was going downhill as he hardly represented England in the international arena in the shortest format. It was the CSK skipper who showed faith in the southpaw and gave him the opportunity he really needed, to revive his international career in T20 format. MS Dhoni saved Moeen Ali’s international career by helping the allrounder express himself on the field.

MS Dhoni helped in Moeen Ali’s international career resurgence

In the 2021 edition of the IPL, Moeen Ali was used as a frontline spinner by MS Dhoni. The skipper brought Ali in the powerplay overs and the bowler did really well for the team. Ali was given the chance to bat at No.3 by the CSK captain and that did wonders for the English cricketer. MS Dhoni came as a lifesaver for Ali and saved his international career in the T20 format.

In a recent interaction with the official broadcasters, Moeen Ali said, “Playing for CSK gave me a lot of confidence. They showed a lot of faith in me right from the time when I was bought at the auctions. As a player you want that sometimes… It felt like I was a very important part of the squad. And I was happy to repay their faith”.

Moeen Ali performed as a matchwinner for CSK and that helped him seal a spot in the England team for the T20 World Cup 2021. The English captain Eoin Morgan is now reaping benefits of the confidence CSK has given Moeen Ali. The allrounder is turning out to be a gamechanger for England in the ongoing T20 World Cup. MS Dhoni certainly played a major role in reviving Moeen Ali’s international career in the shortest format.
