England all-rounder Moeen Ali speaks high of Indian skipper Virat Kohli and feels that the latter doesn’t have any weakness. Moeen even talked his potential ahead of the India-England series.

“I still feel I’ve got wickets and runs in me and match-winning performances within me. I have little targets I want to achieve first. I am not too far away from getting 200 wickets. I know people say they don’t look at these things but it would be something I would look at. Then I would set another target after that,” ESPN Cricinfo quoted Moeen, who has 181 Test wickets, as saying.

Talking of Virat Kohli, Moeen deliberated that it is still a task to dismiss Kohli. “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. I don’t know how we’re going to get him out [specifically] because I don’t think he has any sort of weakness but we have a good bowling attack, some pace in the line-up. He’s a great guy and a good friend of mine – we don’t talk too much about cricket. We do a little bit but not too much,” he said.

Moeen Ali didn’t play in the series against Sri-Lanka as the former tested positive for Covid-19. Meanwhile, Dom Bess and Jack Leach did some outstanding bowling in his absence. “I think I’m fine. Whether or not I get picked is another matter. Bessy and Leachy I thought did quite well in Sri Lanka and are coming off some good performances. In terms of being ready to play, I think I’ll be fine to play, I’ll be ready. I’ve waited long enough,” Moeen said.

India and England are slated to play the first Test of the four-match Test series in Chennai from February 5.
