Hot pick
Moeen Ali: Moeen has done well to replace Super Kings' Suresh Raina at the No. 3 position, scoring 35 (22) and 48 (35) apart from his duck against Punjab Kings. He has been a consistent scorer for Super Kings in India especially, as he has recorded scores of 25 or more in seven of his last nine outings.
