5 possible replacements for MS Dhoni in the Indian team

Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson has been tipped as a potential replacement for years now

22-year-old Sanju Samson has been in the spotlight for so long that it almost makes it hard to believe that he is still so young. He is one who shot to prominence early in his career thanks to his exploits in the IPL.

He boasts of more experience than Pant and Kishan, and has amassed nearly 2000 runs in 37 first-class matches. He has also made his debut for the Indian cricket team, a solitary T20I against Zimbabwe in 2015.

Sanju Samson’s best moments have come in the IPL, where he has been a star for the past couple of seasons, especially at the Rajasthan Royals, where he flourished under the mentorship of Rahul Dravid.
