#3 Andre Fletcher
In the 2019 T10 League, Andre Fletcher played for Bangla Tigers, the team which finished the competition in third place in the points table. The opening wicket-keeper batsman scored 186 runs in 8 matches for his team in the tournament.
Moreover, Fletcher was the competition's second-highest six-hitter with 19 maximums to his name. During the 3rd place play-off, the Caribbean batsman smashed a match-winning 30-ball 52, which earned him the Player of the Match award.
As a big six-hitter from West Indies, Fletcher would be valuable in the powerplay overs for any IPL team that gains his services. After releasing two overseas openers in Joe Denly and Chris Lynn, Kolkata Knight Riders may like to obtain the services of the West Indies opener.
Royal Challengers Bangalore has released six overseas players, including their Caribbean top-order batsman Shimron Hetmyer and South African wicketkeeper Heinrich Klaasen. Therefore, they could use an overseas top-order batsman and keeper like Fletcher.
