IPL 2018: The impact player for each franchise

Kings XI Punjab - Andrew Tye

<p>

The Western Australian death overs specialist made a mark in last year's IPL playing for the Gujarat Lions and will be looking to replicate that form this year when he turns out for the Kings XI Punjab. Being the only truly world-class pace bowler in his team, the responsibility to spearhead the attack will fall on Tye and whether or not he steps up could determine how far KXIP could go in the season.

Andrew Tye, who took 12 wickets in 6 games in last year's IPL, has been in good form off late, taking 8 wickets in 4 games in the ODI series against England, and 10 wickets in 5 games in the Trans-Tansman T20 Tri-Series (comprising Australia, England, and New Zealand). While his economy rate has not been the best in recent times, this T20 specialist will surely be the one who determines Punjab's fortunes this season.
