IPL 2018: 4 reasons why KXIP are on a roll this season

#3 Pacemen taking responsibility at crucial moments

Andrew Tye is now the owner of the Purple Cap for this season

Andrew Tye has been the bowling superstar for the Kings XI and has now become the proud owner of the Purple Cap with his tally of nine wickets from six games. More importantly, Tye has received support from other pace bowlers in his team. It was the duo of Mohit Sharma and Barinder Sran who lifted their game in the death overs against Chennai Super Kings to keep MS Dhoni at bay.

Sran was in action again as he bowled a terrific penultimate over where he conceded only four runs against Delhi Daredevils when they required 21 runs to win from the last two overs. In the match against Delhi, KXIP found a new hero in Ankit Rajpoot who took 2 for 23 in his four overs to set the game up for his team.
