5 memorable moments from the Rising Pune Supergiants-Mumbai Indians match that don't fade away
Halfway through the IPL and we find ourselves in a situation that we have never been before. After playing 8 games, a team led by MS Dhoni lingers at number 6 in the points table with just 2 wins and 6 losses.
In the last match, Pune showed signs of recovery by winning their second game of the tournament and there was a feeling that it could just be the beginning of a comeback for the Pune franchise.
However, they were brought right back to ground by Rohit Sharma and co. as Mumbai continued their impressive form with a thumping 8 wicket win.
There were plenty of moments in the match that don't fade away, quite like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes. Here are 5 of the best:
Saurabh Tiwary’s resurgence
If a list of one season IPL wonders were to be compiled, then Saurabh Tiwary would be among the first names to be penned down. His performances with Mumbai in his breakthrough season were so good that it earned him a spot in the national team.
However, it went heavily downhill from there. A huge fee was paid for his services by Royal Challengers Bangalore the following season. The magnitude of the cash put a lot of pressure on him and he cracked under it.
But it seems like he has finally found a new lease of life as an opener for Pune.
It might be too early to give a verdict, but Saurabh Tiwary’s 57 off 45 balls against his former club brings about a ray of hope.
