IPL 2018: Top 3 Dark Horses for the Purple Cap

#1 Andrew Tye

Andrew Tye is a modern-day T20 specialist bowler. His ability to hit yorkers at the death and his variations in his bowling impressed KXIP and they bought him for a price of Rs. 7.2 crore at the auction.

In his 70 T20s, Tye has taken 107 wickets at an economy rate of 7.77. Tye is known for generating clever pace and he chokes the batsman with his accuracy. He has improved season after season in the BBL.

The Western Australian bowls unbelievably in pressure situations and is a reliable death overs bowler. He had been in the Chennai Super Kings squad a few years ago but never got a game.

After that, he was picked by Gujarat Lions, and in his debut game, he took a startling five wickets which also included a fantastic hat-trick. He will be keen to be consistent in IPL 2018 and take maximum wickets to earn the Purple Cap.
