About Sanju Samson

He is seen as the next biggest thing in Kerala. Sanju Samson is a fine wicket-keeper batsman, who is sound in technique, both with bat and behind the stumps. He made his first-class debut at the age of 17 for Kerala against Vidarbha.

He made an impact almost immediately as he scored two hundreds and a fifty in five appearances the next season. He was signed by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2012 but he did not get a game. It was for the Rajasthan Royals that Samson made a name for himself in the IPL.

He was sent to the UAE to represent the country in the Under-19 World Cup and he did not disappoint the selectors. He was the top run-getter for India and was the only player in the side to hit three fifties. In fact, he finished 6th in the list of batsmen with most runs in the entire tournament despite India not qualifying to the semi-final.
