Rising Pune Supergiant team entered the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Tuesday wearing a black armband as a mark of respect and mourn the passing of Manoj Tiwary’s father.
Tiwary, who had to leave for Bengal to perform his father’s last rites, was replaced with Rahul Tripathi in the team.
Tiwary had played a brilliant role in their last game against Kings XI and scored a brilliant fifty to guide the team towards a respectable total.
RPS captain Steve Smith too pulled out of the match due to an upset stomach. Faf du Plessis took the Australian’s place in the playing XI.
Sanju Samson hit IPL-10’s first century in Delhi Daredevils’ 97-run annihilation, firmly putting behind a domestic season he would like to forget with an innings to remember.
With his 63-ball 102, the 22-year-old wicketkeeper underlined why he is considered talented, as Daredevils notched up a formidable 205 for four after being sent in.
Chris Morris blazed his way to 38 off a mere nine balls, helping the visitors amass 45 runs runs in the last two overs of the innings with a flurry of sixes and fours.
In reply, Pune’s innings fell apart within the first 10 overs as they were reeling at 54 for five. Eventually, the hosts were bowled out for a paltry 108.
