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.
