Pune had a torrid season last year in the Indian Premier League. They finished second from the bottom, and could only manage to win five games out of the 14. They also faced a number of injury issues throughout the tournament.
“I am quite in sync with the team structure as this will be my second year with Rising Pune Supergiant,” Rahane said. “Our team is well balanced with a good mix of talent from both national and international players.”
