Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Moeen Ali holds a good record against Virat Kohli and the Englishman further enjoyed more success over Kohli as he bowled the 33-year-old as CSK faced off against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) at the MCA Stadium in Pune, on Wednesday.
Virat was looking in good form and was moving towards a second consecutive fifty in as many games, however, Moeen Ali put an abrupt end to his inning at 30-runs, after deceiving the Indian batter with a gorgeous full-length delivery that turned in front of Kohli and castled his stumps.
The former RCB skipper tried to push the ball towards leg side, however, the ball squeezed between Kohli's bat and pad to bring an end to Kohli's resurgent inning.
