CHENNAI, Jan 31: England all-rounder Moeen Ali doesn’t know how they are going to tackle Virat Kohli in the upcoming Tests against India and feels the batting maestro will be extra motivated to fire after missing his team’s incredible triumph in Australia.
Kohli, who had returned home after the opening Test debacle against Australia for the birth of his child, is back to captain the side in the four-match series against England, beginning here on February 5.
“How do we get him out? He’s obviously an amazing player, world-class, he’s very motivated to do well and I’m sure he’ll be even more motivated after they did well in Australia and he had to leave for the birth of his child,” Moeen told reporters during a video conference.
Back in the fold after recovering from COVID-19, Moeen said he has still got “match-winning performances” in him and is ready to take on India.
Besides the Tests, India and England will play three ODIs and five T20Is. Moeen said playing Test cricket is his “biggest motivation” and he has “little targets”, which he is wants to achieve in the upcoming series. (PTI)
