M S Dhoni was the first player picked by the Sanjeev Goenka-owned franchise at the players draft last year, along with Ravichandran Ashwin, Ajinkya Rahane, Steven Smith and Faf du Plessis.

 

Kanitkar named assistant coach

Former India cricketer Hrishikesh Kanitkar has been named assistant coach of the new Indian Premier League franchise — Rising Pune Supergiants — for the upcoming season to be held from April 9 to May 29.

Kanitkar, who played two Tests in 1999-2000 and 34 ODIs, is remembered for his heroics in the final match of the Independence Cup against Pakistan in 1998.

The gutsy left hander hit a boundary off Saqlain Mushtaq, when India required three runs to win from two balls, in fading light to enable them post a memorable victory over the arch-rivals in Dhaka, chasing a 300-plus target.

With 8,059 runs in 105 matches, Kanitkar is in the top five highest run-getters in Ranji Trophy.

In July 2015, Kanitkar announced his retirement from international cricket.

The Rising Pune Supergiants have already named Stephen Fleming as the head coach.
