The unending injury list
After a wonderful auction, Rising Pune Supergiants would have fancied their chances of making it to the playoffs. But by mid-tournament, they had lost Kevin Pietersen, Mitchell Marsh, Faf du Plessis and Steve Smith. Ashish Nehra was injured two times. Yuvraj Singh missed half the league phase because of an ankle injury. Lasith Malinga and Samuel Badree never saw action. Even Kings XI Punjab couldn’t cope with the loss of Shaun Marsh and later, Glen Maxwell. All in all, many were missed this year.
