I have been thinking about this decision since the end of the last season and discussing it with my management team. And our thought is to have a younger captain at the helm of the team this year. We have a very good mix of youth and experience in the team and feel we need a young mind and a young captain with different ideas to spearhead Rising Pune Supergiants."RPS had finished seventh in their maiden season last year. Goenka conceded, "We could have done much better. I have one more year as a franchisee owner and I want to give it my best. I have the luxury of two current international captains in my team. I feel Steve can make a difference. He will get all the support he needs to lead Rising Pune Supergiants." Edited February 19, 2017 by New guy Lannister, tweaker, Ironhide and 1 other 4
Cricketics Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Won't be surprised if Smith decides to take season off next year and Pune is on the lookout for another new captain next year. New guy and Richardprumb 2

WC2011INDIA Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Wow...Owner has balls. MSd stock has dropped quite a lot... I read somewhere that they are releasing 11 players from the franchise..Will be a brand new team for the most part.. Bechara Dhoni, Rahane etc all gone.

Austin 3:!6 Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 LOL how time changes. MSD was one of the most sought out skipper in IPL and made CSK almost invincible. Will CSK re-hire him as skipper next year? Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk New guy 1

G_B_ Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 a bit worrying that foreigners are getting the captaincy gigs. Would have liked to see Rahane captain even though I dont want him part of Indian T20 team express bowling 1

Cricketics Posted February 19, 2017 Posted February 19, 2017 Just now, New guy said: The new teams were only allowed for 2 years while CSK and RR were banned If the owners want to run the teams, they should allow them to run and participate, even if csk and rr return. Fine to have 2 more teams. As they have come up with new set of fanbase now for those teams. Bleed-Blue and New guy 2
