3. Sanju Samson (RR)

The wicketkeeper-batsman took the IPL season by storm when he began. Sanju Samson played two amazing knocks to start the IPL and became the major reason for the limited success that Rajasthan Royals achieved. In the first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad, he stroked a single-handed effort with 49 runs, he then scored 37 against Delhi Daredevils. His best effort came in the next match as he scored 92* against RCB at Bangalore.

After these knocks, his performance nose-dived and scored only 7 and 2 in next two digs. Samson will need to perform better to get RR back in the game.
