Whenever a discussion about Mahendra Singh Dhoni's successor pops up, this man's name is bound to arise. Sanju Samson is immaculate as a wicket-keeper and his batting is aesthetically pleasing. However, Samson has had his ups and downs, which has kept the Indian blue jersey with his name written on it in transit for a while.

But this is the year that Samson is targeting to get his hands on it. In 6 matches, the 23-year-old from Vizhinjam, Kerala has amassed 239 runs - 92 of them coming against Royal Challengers Bangalore in just 45 deliveries. His average is not the only thing that is impressive, as Samson has caught some attention with his aggressive batting this season, which is testified by his strike rate of over 150.
