#4 Sanju Samson

Samson has shown lot of maturity in IPL 2018 and scored runs consistently — Samson has shown great maturity while playing for Rajasthan Royals in this IPL season

Sanju Samson was the find of the season in IPL 2013 when he debuted for Rajasthan Royals (RR). This season, he has regained his magical touch for RR.

In IPL 2018, Samson scored 441 runs in 15 matches at an average of 31.5 including two match-winning knocks for RR. He has been rated highly by his mentor Rahul Dravid and would look to continue his fine form.

Samson is also a decent wicket-keeper and can be a huge prospect once Dhoni retires from the game.
