- Rising Pune Supergiants:
Undoubtedly the poorest spenders at the auction table among all franchises, the Rising Pune Supergiants seem to be in dire straits at the moment. Their spending method seemed profusely obnoxious, as they shelled out 83% of their balance to acquire just one player in the form of Ben Stokes. With such a minimal amount left, they were bound to be in for some serious trouble and that was evident as some unheard pacers were eventually roped in to fit in the budget.
This is the only team where there are more weaknesses than the positives. First and foremost, the absence of any power hitter will surely take a toll on the overall batting effort. Along with that, the absence of a renowned pacer will further create chaos in the death overs. There is bound to be an excess burden on the shoulders of R. Ashwin.
