Sanju Samson has scored consistently for Rajasthan Royals in the last few seasons of IPL. The right-handed batsman played a match-winning knock of 92 runs against Royal Challengers Bangalore, two years ago at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Batting first, Rajasthan Royals got off to a good start thanks to Ajinkya Rahane's 20-ball 36. After Rahane fell, Sanju Samson came out in the middle and played one of his finest IPL knocks. Samson smashed two fours and ten maximums in his 45-ball 92*.

He reached his half-century without hitting a four. The Kerala-based player struck the two boundaries during the 19th over of Rajasthan's innings.

2. David Miller - 51* (19) vs. SRH, IPL 2014

David Miller had played some epic knocks for Kings XI Punjab in the IPL. The southpaw, a part of Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2020, smacked an unbeaten 19-ball 51 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium during the 2014 season.

Chasing 192 runs to win, Punjab needed a batsman who could attack the bowlers after Glenn Maxwell's departure. Miller went big after arriving in the middle and his quickfire half-century powered the Mohali-based franchise to a 7-wicket win. The South African batsman hit six towering maximums during his knock.

1. Sanju Samson - 61 (31) vs. GL, 2017

Sanju Samson makes his presence felt on this list again courtesy his 31-ball 61 against Gujarat Lions in IPL 2017. The right-handed batsman opened the innings for Delhi after the Rajkot-based franchise scored 208/7 in 20 overs.

Delhi needed a flying start, and Samson provided them with that by smashing seven maximums in his innings. Samson added 143 runs for the second wicket along with Rishabh Pant as the two youngsters helped Delhi win the match by seven wickets. Pant scored 97 runs in that match.
