Video: Moin Ali bowled such a ball in the Ashes, Rohit's favorite player became clean bowled; Harbhajan was also surprised
On the second day of the first Ashes Test match between England and Australia, Moeen Ali clean bowled Cameron Green with a brilliant ball. During this match, he took a wicket after 650 days in Test cricket. In the first match of the Ashes series, England declared their innings for 393 runs while batting first. In response, Australia were fighting with a good partnership between Usman Khawaja and Cameron Green. However, Moin dismissed Green for 38 with a brilliant ball and Harbhajan Singh was also surprised to see his ball.
Moeen's ball pitched far outside the off-stump, but turned and came inside and went straight to the stump, dodging Green's bat. The ball took the batsman completely by surprise and a stadium full of England supporters went into jubilation. Former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh praised this ball on Twitter.
