Steve Smith (Rising Pune Supergiant) – 6.5 out 10 points
Pretty much the same story as Gujarat Lions. Skipper Steve Smith showed the spark in the first game of the match where he led his side to a brilliant victory. However, the impressive win was followed by three back to back losses which have pushed to second from the bottom in the point table.
They recently broke the losing streak by defeating RCB at their home turf. But Smith needs to inspire his team to do much better in upcoming days if the franchise hopes to advance to the next level.
