England all-rounder Moeen Ali, who was bought by RCB for ₹1.70 crore, has said, "If you asked me to play in the IPL for free, I would have done...especially for experience with players like Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers". Further, Ali, who was dropped from Tests after 50 caps, admitted he should've been dropped earlier, citing his poor Ashes performance.
