The wicketkeeper-batsman Sanju Samson has been pretty consistent in the Indian Premier League, especially in the last three editions. Sanju Samson can be a good back up option for Rishabh Pant. The elegant batsman had an average of more than 30 and scored four 50+ scores including one century in the last two seasons. The right-handed batsman has already represented India in T20 internationals.

The 24-year-old batsman made his T20I debut against Zimbabwe in 2015 but could not make the most of the only opportunity.

The dashing batsman from Kerala averaged 34.20 with a strike rate of more than 148. He amassed 342 runs in 12 games with one swashbuckling century against SRH in the second game of IPL 2019.
