Sanju Samson:
Another highly-rated player who has the potential to become Indian cricket’s flag-bearer, Sanju Samson can be another good option for the opening spot. The Kerela youngster recently became the second youngest player to score an IPL century when he blasted 103 off just 63 balls against Rising Pune Supergiant earlier this month.
He is looking in good touch in the ongoing league and has so far scored 215 runs at an impressive average of 43. He was also included in India’s ODI squad for the series in England in 2014 and given his current form, he can expect another call from the selectors.
