"We have two of the best T20 spinners with us, so difficult to break into that side" - Moeen Ali

"He (Rahane) is good, but he will hide somewhere in the field (due to the injury), which means I will be somewhere in the hotspot today. You need to keep yourself on top of your game and need to keep practising well. They told me at the start that I will play certain games, depending on the wickets," Ali added.

Moeen felt he had more chances as a bowler against Southpaws. He understood the difficulty of regularly feature in the XI due to the presence of Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy. "You have to take it in your stride and try to be as professional as you can," he added.

"When there are left-handers in the opposition you have more chances of playing as an off-spinner. We have two of the best T20 spinners with us, so difficult to break into that side. They (Jaiswal and Suryavanshi) are talented young players, so it’s going to be challenge for us. We also have some world-class players in our side, so we are ready for it," Moeen concluded.
