IPL 2018, Match 8: Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) predicted XI to face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB)

#10 Mohit Sharma

Sharma picked up 2-wickets against DD

While Punjab has done remarkably well at the auctions to assemble an all-around squad, there are few chinks in their armor 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 did not have a good start to the tournament (0-38 in 4 overs) and the tall fast-bowler needs to step-up for his team, especially with him being the spearhead of the attack.
