The Chennai Super Kings, who won the trophy for the fourth time last IPL season, are facing a major setback in the current series.
CSK, who have played 7 matches so far, have won only two. The only way to advance to the play - offs is to win the upcoming tournaments. Despite consistently showing good form in batting, Chennai's bowling is not consistent.
CSK had bought Deepak Chahar for Rs 14 crore in the IPL auction. However, he has been ruled out of the entire IPL series due to injury. Similarly, another bowler Adam Milne has been ruled out of the IPL due to injury. CSK has also signed young Sri Lankan fast bowler Matheesha Pathirana to replace him.
The players who relied on bowling have been ruled out due to injury and have joined the Chennai team in a hurry. In such a situation, the fact that another player is currently suffering from an injury has caused further problems for the Chennai team. England all-rounder Moeen Ali is one of the best players in the Chennai team.
Even before the IPL auction, the CSK team retained Moeen. He did not make a big impact in the current series. However, fans are sure that his contribution will occasionally lend a hand.
In such a situation, it has been reported that Moeen Ali is suffering due to injury. In the match against Mumbai, Moeen Ali was not included. According to reports, Moeen Ali has been ruled out with a hamstring injury and may miss the next few matches.
The news that Deepak Chahar and Moeen Ali have been ruled out of some matches due to injury following Adam Milne has caused problems for the Chennai team. In the opening match against Punjab, Chennai have opted for fielding. Moin Ali did not bat in this match either.
