Andrew James Tye
(Australian Cricketer)
More of a latecomer, Tye is widely regarded as one of the primary bowlers in Perth Scorchers. He made his ODI debut for Australia in 2018 against England and is now highly regarded for his cunning variations especially in the shortest format of the game.
In 2017, Tye took 5-wickets haul on his IPL debut for Gujarat Lions which also included a hat-trick and was ruled out of the mid-tournament after sustaining an injury. In next edition, he became Purple Cap holder after claiming 24 wickets in 14 innings for Kings XI Punjab.

A 90's born who has witnessed Sachin becoming "The God", Dhoni becoming "The only Captain to have won all the ICC trophies" and Kohli turning into a "run-machine". Cricket is something I am crazy for and I try to deliver the best and true I can in my every writing.
