Sanju Samson's batting talent makes him a potential Dhoni replacement

Sanju Samson first caught everyone's attention when he represented the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2013, where many pundits and cricket experts recognized his potential. Even the legendary leg-spinner, Shane Warne, once touted him as the next big thing in Indian cricket.

The right-hander's immense batting talent is on display every time he takes the field.

But unfortunately, with the intense pressure of expectation on his shoulders, he struggled to perform consistently, and several off-field issued didn't help him either.

Samson has represented India in a solitary T20I, but with age on his side and enough experience gained in the domestic circuit, he can be a man for Indian cricket in its near future.
