IPL 2018: Top 5 performances by Indians in the tournament so far

#1 Sanju Samson (Match No 11, RCB vs RR)

Sanju Samson powered Rajasthan Royals to their second win of the tournament

Sanju Samson has been knocking on the doors of the national selectors for quite some time now. The youngster from Kerela is talked highly of in the cricketing circles and his recent knock against Royal Challengers Bangalore stands as yet another testimony to his skill.

The untimely departure of Ajinkya Rahane brought Samson to the middle in the sixth over of the innings. The right-handed batsman looked in sublime touch as he milked the bowlers all around the park.

Soon after finding his feet at the crease, Samson began to open his shoulders and tonked the likes of Chris Woakes, Umesh Yadav, and Kulwant Khejroliya to all corners of the Chinnaswamy stadium. With strokes filled with splendor, Samson thrilled the spectators and ended up with a magnificent 92 off 45 balls, consisting 2 fours and 10 sixes.
