The exceptionally talented young batsman from Kerala has been the star performer with the bat for Rajasthan Royals this season. The elegant right-hander has amassed 178 runs in 3 matches at an average of 89 and a strike rate of over 160. Currently, he is only behind Virat Kohli in the runs tally this season.

In their season opener against SRH, he made 49 off 42 balls and followed it up with a 22-ball 37 against his former franchise DD, and a match-defining knock of unbeaten 92 off 45 balls with 10 towering sixes against RCB.

With his skill to hit the ball with impeccable timing and his ability to adapt his batting style according to the situation, Samson has held the fort for Rajasthan Royals in the past and is expected to do the same throughout the tournament.
