Josh Tongue is in fine form in the T20 format, as well. He recently made his T20I debut after a fine show in last year’s Hundred. Here, we take a look at the list of three franchises that must target English pacer Josh Tongue for IPL 2027.
Josh offers incredible skills in the T20 format and could work in all phases of the innings. Therefore, he would be in discussion for a few outfits for the next season.
1) Royal Challengers Bengaluru
RCB’s overseas bowling is uncertain for next year. Jacob Duffy could not be relied upon if Josh Hazlewood misses out. Hence, especially with the English connection, Josh Tongue is a certain target for the franchise.
2) Mumbai Indians is one of the franchises that must target Josh Tongue for IPL 2027
MI has struggled with its pace attack. Especially in the overseas department, the likes of Trent Boult have failed to do well for the side. Hence, a fresh talent like Josh could help the side.
3) Punjab Kings
The overseas pacers of PBKS also struggled in IPL 2026. Ricky Ponting could be on the lookout for new ideas and someone like Josh is a good addition for the side. He could complement the likes of Arshdeep Singh well in different phases of the innings.
