Delhi: Moin Ali, who replaced Sunil Naren in the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team during the match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), said that he is accustomed to bowling with a person who is better than him. Moin on Wednesday, along with Indian spinner Varun Chakraborty, taunted the Royals bowlers in the middle overs and played an important role in stopping the opposing team at the score of 151 runs for 9 wickets. Moin called Varun a better spinner than himself.
Moin said in a press conference after the match, “My job is to curb the run pace, so that he can put pressure and take wickets. I am accustomed to bowling with a person who is better than me and which has more diversity than me. My job is to bowl as much as possible and hope that it will create pressure and that person will be able to take wickets. “
He said, “As we know that Varun is bowling well and he is a great bowler. He has improved a lot in the last two-three years. It is amazing to bowl with such a bowler.” Moin took two wickets for 23 runs in four overs against RR, while his fellow spinner Chakraborty also took two wickets for 23 runs in four overs.
Significantly, Naren was not available for the match in Guwahati due to illness, causing KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane to include the former England player in the XI a few hours before the match.
