IPL 2018, Match 2: Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) 'Predicted 11' to face Delhi Daredevils

#10 Mohit Sharma

Sharma needs to step-up this season

While Punjab has done remarkably well at the auctions to assemble an all-around squad, there are few chinks in their armour which are difficult to overlook. The most prominent of them is the lack of depth in fast bowling.

This is where the role of Mohit Sharma becomes pivotal. With years of experience now under his belt and a bag of tricks to deceive the batsman, it remains to be seen if he can step us and be the leader of the attack.

#11 Andrew Tye

Tye has made a sensational turnaround in his career

A match-winning performance (5-46 vs England) and a paycheck of $1.4 million (AU) in the IPL auctions, it was a pretty surreal day for Australian fast-bowler Andrew Tye.

A late bloomer, 31-year-old Tye is predominantly a limited-overs bowler who thrives on choking the batsmen with his nagging line and a plethora of subtle variations that tend to bamboozle even the best in the game.

Tye would be an invaluable asset to KXIP, a side beleaguered with lack of potency in the fast-bowling department.
