The Australian T20 specialist was the leading wicket-taker in the last edition of the cash-rich league, and without any surprise, he will be the key for Kings XI Punjab at the death in the forthcoming season.

Andrew Tye has picked up three hat-tricks in his T20 career, one for Gujarat Lions in the IPL and two for Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League. Last year, the 32-year-old grabbed 24 wickets from 14 games to race to the purple cap accolade.

In 2019 too, KXIP will bank upon the experience and variations of Tye to rescue them during the slog overs.


#3 Dwayne Bravo - Chennai Super Kings

For about eight years now, Dwayne Bravo has been the go-to man for his captain MS Dhoni to bowl at the business end of an innings for Chennai Super Kings. In crunch affairs, he often started his four-over spell behindhand at the 13th or 14th over right until the end to face the challenge.

In 2015, the Caribbean all-rounder became the first cricketer to win the purple cap twice in the history of IPL, although he was later joined by Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

In the upcoming season, Bravo will continue to truck the burden of bowling at the death for CSK.
