IPL 2017: Top 5 moments from GL vs RPS encounters through IPL History

#5 Andrew Tye’s dream debut in IPL (14 April 2017)

Tye picked up a hat-trick and a fifer

In the match between Gujarat and Supergiants in 2017 at Rajkot, Andrew Tye claimed all the headlines.

What is the best debut for a bowler? A hat-trick or a five-wicket haul? Andrew Tye, the Australian pace bowler enjoyed dream debut in IPL as he achieved a hat-trick as well as a five-wicket haul.

Smith and Tripathi gave Pune a flying start after they lost Rahane in the first over.

In the sixth over, Raina brought the debutant Andrew Tye to stall the momentum. The quickie got rid of Tripathi on the fifth ball of the over with his trademark knuckleball. He then came back in the 13^th over and produced another wicket on the first ball of the over. The Australian pacer yet again used the knuckleball to castle Ben Stokes.

Tye’s best moment in the IPL came in the last over of the innings. On the first ball, McCullum took an impressive catch to dismiss Ankit Sharma, while on the next ball, Manoj Tiwary’s mistimed flick shot was caught by Kishan on leg side fence.

For the hat-trick delivery, Tye bowled a quick yorker on the stumps which was enough to demolish Shardul Thakur’s stumps. With that, Tye became the first bowler in IPL history to pick up a five-wicket haul as well a hat-trick.

Courtesy of Tye’s bowling, Pune managed only 171 runs which Gujarat chased down in 18 overs.
