Moeen Ali can be handy both with the bat and ball

Corey Anderson is the name circulating on RCB loyalists' name after the match against CSK. Brought as the replacement for injured Australian pacer Nathan Coulter-Nile, Anderson has leaked runs cheaply so far in the tournament. His shameful economy rate is on the verge of touching 14 runs per over mark. With the bat, he has scored just 17 runs so far. His national teammate Colin de Grandhomme was given a chance in the last game but he too could not capitalize on the opportunity and scored only 11 runs.

Hence, RCB needs a trustworthy all-rounder and Englishman Moeen Ali can oblige. The 30-year-old from Birmingham was bought for INR 1.7 crores and is yet to play a match. Ali's T20 career economy rate is just over 7 runs per over and batting average is over 20, which tells us that he can come in handy both with the bat and with the ball.
