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

#5 Mandeep Singh (Kings XI Punjab)

Mandeep Singh

Mandeep Singh was traded for Marcus Stoinis by RCB. He had an average outing in IPL 2018, however, he is set to begin a new journey with the team. And it should not come as a surprise if he is used as a floater.

The explosive combination of KL Rahul and Chris Gayle is set to fire in this season again. The duo was the most successful opening pair in 2018, and the way it attacked the bowlers, it is likely that KXIP put on a big total in first 6-7 overs. In such a case, Mayank Aggarwal can follow, and Mandeep, who has a strike rate of 135, can be used as a finisher.

However, he can also be used as a No.3 if the openers fail to provide the start. He has opened for RCB in IPL 2017, and he knows how to bat in the top-order. Thus his batting position can be kept flexible.
