IPL 2018: 5 youngsters who have performed better than their experienced teammates

#3 Sanju Samson instead of Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes was a huge buy for the Rajasthan Royals ahead of the 2018 IPL. The English all-rounder is yet to do justice to his INR 12.5 crore price tag at the Indian Premier League. In four matches, Stokes has scored only 62 runs and has taken just one wicket for 78 runs at an economy rate of 9.75.

While the Royals were hoping their costliest buy Ben Stokes to fire, it was Sanju Samson who caught everyone's attention. The young wicketkeeper-batsman from Kerala has had an outstanding start to the league. Samson has scored 185 runs at a strike-rate of 158 in his 4 matches. His knock of 92 against RCB made him earn the orange cap for a short period of time. At present, Samson is just behind Virat Kohli on the list of leading run scorer.
