#4 Sam Billings (Chennai Super Kings)

Sam Billings is one of the rising English talents, who is yet to make a mark at the international level. He is one of the modern-day batsmen who love to play cheeky shots and at the same time, possess enough power to target the V.
The 27-year-old considers AB de Villiers as his idol and has all the ingredients to follow his footsteps. The wicket-keeper batsman played for Delhi Capitals in 2016 & 2017 editions, before he was bagged by the yellows in 2018.
Billings had a rough season last year for Chennai Super Kings, though he pulled off a match-winning 56 off just 23 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders. If he adds consistency to his game, he can surely be the go-to man for CSK.
In the upcoming season, Billings might be given more opportunities to finish the innings with Dhoni moving slightly up in the batting order.
