IPL 2020 Auction: 3 players KXIP will look to buyback

#2 Andrew Tye

Andrew Tye celebrates a wicket for Kings XI Punjab

The 32-year-old Andrew Tye, who created a bidding war between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings at 2018 IPL auction was eventually secured by Punjab for a whopping INR 7.2 crore.The purple cap winner of 2018 IPL has been released by Kings XI Punjab after failing to replicate his success last season. Tye took 24 wickets throughout season 11 that included 3 four-wicket hauls with best figures of 4/16. Unfortunately, there was a dip in his form in 2019 IPL where he managed just three wickets in six matches for his franchise.

The Aussie pacer who will go under the hammer owing to his astronomical price tag might be bought back by for a comparatively lesser price ahead of 2020 IPL. With Tye proving himself twice in the lucrative league (for Gujarat Lions in 2017 and Kings XI Punjab in 2018) and given his enormous T20 experience (194 wickets), Punjab would be keen on buying him back despite his poor 2019 IPL performance.
