5 moments from Mumbai Indians Vs Rising Pune Supergiant that don’t fade away
Mumbai Indians met the Rising Pune Supergiant at the former’s fortress for the second Maharashtra derby of IPL 10. Before winning six games in a row, Pune were the only blemish in Mumbai’s outing this year, beating the Rohit Sharma-led team in their opening game.

Rohit’s 3rd IPL half century didn’t suffice as the Pune bowlers were brilliant in their death bowling and the hosts kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
Here are 5 memorable moments from the match that don't fade away, quite like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes.
