  Recent measurements of the resistivity in magic-angle twisted bilayer
graphene near the superconducting transition temperature show two-fold
anisotropy or nematicity when changing the direction of an in-plane magnetic
field [Cao \textit{et al.}, arXiv:2004.04148]. This was interpreted as strong
evidence for exotic nematic superconductivity instead of the widely proposed
chiral superconductivity. Counter-intuitively, we demonstrate that in
two-dimensional chiral superconductors the in-plane magnetic field can
hybridize the two chiral superconducting order parameters to induce a phase
that shows nematicity in the transport response. Its paraconductivity is
modulated as $\cos(2\theta_{\bf B})$, with $\theta_{\bf B}$ being the direction
of the in-plane magnetic field, consistent with experiment in twisted bilayer
graphene. We therefore suggest that, surprisingly, the nematic response
reported by Cao \textit{et al.} could provide experimental support for, instead
of ruling out, a chiral superconducting state.
