IPL: KXIP's greatest overseas XI of all time

All-rounders: Glenn Maxwell, Azhar Mahmood

Glenn Maxwell has a sparkling IPL record in the UAE

After a brief spell at the Delhi Capitals, Glenn Maxwell has returned to KXIP for IPL 2020. The destructive Australian, who has a stunning record in the UAE, will be one of the team's key players in the tournament with in both departments.

With 1,186 runs in 52 games, along with 10 wickets, Maxwell is a bonafide franchise legend. He shares the spin-bowling responsibility in this XI with Mujeeb Ur Rahman, in the absence of quality world-class spinners.

Azhar Mahmood is the fast-bowling all-rounder in this all-time overseas XI for KXIP. In 22 games for the team, he scored 382 runs and picked up 29 wickets, which is an excellent return. The Pakistan-born cricketer is one of the few true all-rounders that KXIP have had in the IPL.

Bowlers: Mitchell Johnson, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Andrew Tye

Andrew Tye won the Purple Cap in the 2018 IPL

Australian quick Mitchell Johnson adds variety to the bowling attack of this all-time XI. The left-armer picked up 28 wickets in the 26 games that he played for KXIP, and was a key component of Bailey's side that reached the IPL final in 2014.

Afghanistan's Mujeeb Ur Rahman is the sole front-line spinner in this all-time XI, owing to the lack of better alternatives. The mystery spinner has scalped 17 wickets in the 16 games that he has played for KXIP, operating in the powerplay with admirable efficiency. On the spin-friendly tracks in the UAE, Mujeeb will be crucial to the team's fortnues.

2018 Purple Cap winner Andrew Tye rounds off the bowling attack of this all-time XI. The Australian, whose slower ball tormented opposition batsmen at the death, picked up 27 wickets in 20 games for KXIP. He narrowly edges out Ryan Harris in this team, and will play for RR in IPL 2020.
