Andrew Tye first entered the IPL in 2015 after being signed by Chennai Super Kings for a base price of INR 20 lakh. However, with the franchise already having several overseas options in its squad, he spent the season largely on the sidelines without getting many opportunities.

By the time CSK returned to the tournament in 2018, Tye had grown into one of the most effective T20 bowlers in the circuit. He had already showcased his skills in the 2017 season for the now-defunct Gujarat Lions, yet CSK chose not to bring him back despite his availability in the auction. That decision proved costly, as the Australian seamer went on to represent Punjab Kings (then Kings XI Punjab) and finished as the Purple Cap winner in the 2018 IPL edition.
