Rajasthan Royals v Chennai Super Kings - IPL T20
Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson's Indian team experience is limited to only one T20I against Zimbabwe in 2015. However, the wicket-keeper batsman can be considered to be a successor to MS Dhoni along with Rishabh Pant. If groomed properly, he can use his IPL experience to become successful at the top of the order in international cricket as well.

He has played for the Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals where he has shown that he is a player who doesn't shy away from playing his strokes when needed. His USP is his versatility and he ensures that the scoreboard is always ticking. He is only 23 years old, and still has a bright future in front of him.
