CSK all-rounder Moeen Ali compared tonight’s MI vs CSK to the English Premier League game between Manchester United and Liverpool.
“This is a game I really look forward to,” said Moeen Ali on the eve of the game. “These are the two most successful franchises and the fan-following is huge and this is one of the biggest games you can play as a cricketer outside of international cricket. In football’s point of view, it is like Manchester United playing Liverpool. These are huge games,” the English all-rounder explained.
“Over the last couple of years in particular we have played a lot of games here because of Covid. The players like myself probably came in 2-3 years ago and we don’t look at these things (head to head record at the venue). It’s a great opportunity to win. Mumbai are an amazing side, just like CSK actually, the two most successful teams in the competition. Another opportunity to go and win,” the England all-rounder said.
