IPL 2018: 5 positives that KXIP will draw from their campaign this year

#2 Andrew Tye

Enter c — Tye won the Purple Cap for the season

The Kings XI Punjab played only 14 games as they were knocked out of the tournament from the league stage itself. Despite playing a few games less than the teams which made it to the final four, Tye managed to remain the highest wicket taker of the season.

Whenever Ashwin was desperately looking for a wicket, his search for a wicket-taking option would end at a Tye or Mujeeb. Tye picked up 24 wickets averaging just 18.66. Coming into this tournament as a T20 specialist bowler, Tye has done no harm to his reputation with this performance.

Over the course of the tournament, Tye developed a knack of delivering 3-4 wicket spells, a figure that would impress any captain. Tye picked up three 4-wicket hauls in the league and would be very pleased with his personal performance in the league.

The Aussie will definitely play a huge role in Punjab’s plan of an improved performance in IPL 2018.
