Pune: With a new captain in place, Rising Pune Supergiants would look to make amends for a poor last season but have a tough opening battle at hand against two-time former champions Mumbai Indians here on Thursday.
Pune decided to replace Mahendra Singh Dhoni with Steve Smith in the leadership role.
Under Dhoni, who has only played as skipper in the previous nine Indian Premier League editions, Pune could win just five matches in their debut season last year. (PTI)
