Not Dhoni! Moeen Ali names former India fast bowler as cricket's sharpest brain

Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali has named former India fast bowler and Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra as the sharpest cricketing mind he has worked with, placing him ahead of several well-known figures, including MS Dhoni.Moeen, who has played under some of the game's leading captains and coaches, said his time with Nehra at Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) during the 2018 and 2019 IPL seasons gave him a clear idea of Nehra's ability to understand and manage the game.Nehra's coaching journey began with RCB as their bowling coach. The team struggled during his stint, and he faced criticism as RCB failed to perform consistently. However, he was handed a bigger role when he became Gujarat Titans' head coach in 2022.
