Andrew Tye
On scorecards: AJ Tye · Right-hand bat
Andrew Tye, a bowler, played five IPL seasons for four franchises.
The arrival
Andrew Tye's first IPL season was 2017, with Gujarat Lions, a signing made outside the auction.
That first season brought 6 matches, 53 runs and 12 wickets at 6.71 an over.
The peak
The best season was 2018, for Kings XI Punjab: 24 wickets at 7.95 runs an over, while the league's bowlers went for 8.50, with best figures of 4 for 16.
Franchise by franchise
2017, Gujarat Lions. 6 matches and 12 wickets.
2018 to 2019, Kings XI Punjab. Bought at the 2018 auction for ₹7.2 cr. 20 matches and 27 wickets.
2020, Rajasthan Royals. Bought at the 2020 auction for ₹1.0 cr. 1 match and 1 wicket.
2022, Lucknow Super Giants. Arrived outside the auction. 3 matches and 2 wickets.
4 spells with four franchises in all. The longest was with Kings XI Punjab, 2018 to 2019. 2021 is missing from the record: a season without an IPL appearance.
How the wickets came
With the ball, 42 wickets in 687 deliveries, at 8.55 runs an over against a league rate of 8.38 for the same seasons: 0.17 an over more expensive than the typical bowler of the time, the price of a bowler who took wickets often. There were four four-wicket hauls, and the best figures were 5 for 17.
30.4% of the balls Andrew Tye bowled were dots, a lower share than 91% of the 150 bowlers with 500 balls or more; a wicket came every 16.3 balls.
The fielding record: 7 catches.
At the auction
Andrew Tye went under the hammer seven times, bought four times and left unsold three times. The highest price was ₹7.2 cr, paid by Kings XI Punjab in 2018, more than 7 times the base price. The price climbed with the reputation: ₹20 lakh in 2015, ₹1.0 cr by 2020. Being bought did not always mean playing: no match followed for Chennai Super Kings in 2015 and Gujarat Lions in 2016.
Seasons without an auction entry were played under a retention, a trade or a signing made outside the auction.
The legacy
Andrew Tye made 30 IPL appearances, the last for Lucknow Super Giants in 2022, and won 2 player-of-the-match awards.
