Veteran England spinner Moeen Ali was sold to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) during the IPL 2025 mega auction. As he makes his debut for the franchise, here’s a quick look at this present price in the Indian Premier League.
Moeen is a renowned spinner with an experience of 298 international games under his belt. For the last 5 years, he was a part of Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
However, ahead of the mega auction, CSK released him into the auction pool where KKR won the bidding war to secure his services.
What Is Moeen Ali’s IPL Price In 2025?
English all-rounder Moeen Ali joined the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for the IPL 2025 season. He was acquired at his base price of INR 2 crore during the mega-auction held in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Moeen Ali made his IPL debut in 2018 and has since been recognised for his versatility as both a batter and a bowler. Prior to joining KKR, he was a key player for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) from 2021 to 2024.
While he used to earn INR 8 crore from CSK in the last IPL cycle, this year with KKR, his salary has seen a significant drop. Despite his experience and versatility as an all-rounder, only KKR made a bid for him during the mega auction held in November last year.
Is Moeen Ali Playing Today?
In the ongoing IPL 2025 season, Moeen Ali will make his debut for KKR in a match against the Rajasthan Royals which went on floors on March 26, 2025 at Guwahati. He replaced Sunil Narine in the playing XI for that game as the latter was unwell to feature in the game.
KKR lost their first game in IPL 2025 season to RCB. At Eden Gardens, the home team posted 174 runs. However, Phil Salt and Virat Kohli took the game away with a half century each and chased down the total in 16.2 overs.
