IPL 2022: Moeen Ali arrives in CSK camp in Mumbai on Thursday; likely to miss KKR clash

Star all-rounder Moeen Ali finally arrived in India and joined the CSK camp in Mumbai on Thursday ahead of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022. His arrival was delayed due to visa issues.

He will now most likely miss the IPL 2022 opener against KKR on March 26. He needs to complete his quarantine before merging with his teammates.

The Chennai franchise gave their fans the update through an Instagram post, captioning it:

"Mo Bhai is IN!💛 #WhistlePodu #Yellove 🦁"

Moeen Ali played a crucial role in CSK's title-winning campaign last season. Across 15 games, he has scored 357 runs at an average of 25.50, including one half-century. He also picked up six wickets with his off-spinners.

He will continue to be a vital cog in CSK's lineup this season as well.
