3 Sanju Samson

Sanju Samson became a household name after his groundbreaking appearance in IPL 2013. But it was only until Zimbabwe’s tour in 2015 that he made his international debut. Since then, Samson has had a stop-start kind of career mostly due to his inconsistency. But off-late, Samson had availed his opportunities and he recently won the Player of the Match in the 2nd ODI against the same opposition.
