The Rising Pune Supergiant put up a brilliant show against the Mumbai Indians both with the bat and the ball to script their first win in their very first match of their IPL 10 campaign. Captain Steve Smith played a captain’s innings and guided his team to a victory with two sixes in the final over of Keiron Pollard.

But there is no room for complacency in the Indian Premier League and they have to be on their toes once again against the Kings XI Punjab. Kings XI has a good batting line-up including the likes of Shaun Marsh, Glenn Maxwell and Martin Guptill which might provoke the Pune franchise to strengthen their batting line-up as well.

All eyes would be on Imran Tahir who performed extremely well in the first game and the team would expect him to rise to the occasion once again. MS Dhoni would also be hoping to contribute this time as he did not have much to do in the first match. However, the team would be relying on Ajinkya Rahane to give them a solid start up the order and would like some contribution from the out of form Mayank Agarwal as well.

So let’s have a look at the predicted XI of the Rising Pune Supergiant

Chasing a target of 185 runs, the opening batsman set the tone of the run chase for the Rising Pune Super Giant against the Mumbai Indians in the opening encounter. Rahane scored an excellent 60 runs of just 30 balls which helped him team gain momentum at the top of the order.

En route to his 60 of a mere 34 deliveries, Rahane smashed 6 boundaries and 3 sixes and announced his arrival to the shortest format of the game. It was during the final Test in Dharamsala where he showed signs of a change in gears and struck two exceptional sixes of Pat Cummins.  the technically sound batsman would be a sure shot pick at the top of the order and his team would be hoping that Rahane repeats the same kind of performance as he did against the Mumbai Indians.
