IPL 2019: One player from each team who can be used as a floater 

#3 Andre Russell (Kolkata Knight Riders)

Andre Russell

Andre Russell is probably the best T20 allrounder of the current generation. Apart from giving four economical precious overs, he can bat at any position you want him to and can hit big shots from the first ball in any ground in this world.

KKR is a team which does not have much depth in their batting unit. In such a team, a player like him can be a huge surplus. Sunil Narine and Chris Lynn can score over 60 runs in the powerplay if they play the whole of it. The duo has even slammed 105 in the 6 overs against RCB. In such situations, who would not love a batsman to come next and score 45 runs in 15-20 balls. And Russell is the perfect man to do the same.

Other than this, he can also be saved for the last and made to bat in the last 2-3 overs. Also, he has the ability to single-handedly pull a team out of pressure situation as he did against CSK in 2018 with his 36 balls 88, after KKR were struggling at 5/89.
