IPL 2018: Best XI from the League phase

Andrew Tye was simply outstanding for the Kings XI Punjab

Mujeeb Ur Rehman

The Afghanistan spinner was one of the stars of the league for the Kings XI Punjab, picking up 14 wickets in 11 matches in his maiden year for the franchise.

The team will rue the fact that towards the business end of the competition, he got injured and one could observe that minus him, the team lacked the edge that they had with him in the side.

He will hope to do even better if he comes around next year to play in the competition.

Andrew Tye

By far, the best overseas bowler on display this year, With Mujeeb, Tye held the bowling attack of the Kings XI Punjab together, claiming 24 wickets in 14 matches.

Unless Sidharth Kaul with 17 wickets in 14 matches has an exceptional Playoff stage with the Sunrisers, it does not look like the Purple Cap will go away from him, but even if it does it won't take the shine away from the splendid year he had with the ball in hand for the franchise.
