IPL 2018: One player each IPL team cannot afford to lose through injury

Kings XI Punjab - Andrew Tye

Kings XI will be looking to vie for their first ever IPL title this year. They have definitely racked up a quality side to go all the way. They have plenty of riches with the bat including the likes of Indian stars like KL Rahul, Mayank Agarwal, Karun Nair, Manoj Tiwary, Yuvraj Singh, and overseas options like Chris Gayle, Aaron Finch, and David Miller. But the problem lies in their fast bowling department. Either Andrew Tye or Marcus Stoinis have to spearhead their attack.

Tye was excellent for Gujarat Lions last year and is coming off a good season at the Big Bash League. He will be crucial for Kings XI to defend some pressure matches. In his absence, Stoinis has not proved to be efficient in the death overs. The other available options are Mohit Sharma and the untested Ben Dwarshuis. Hence, Tye's wicket-taking overs will be crucial for Kings XI to go all the way this time.
