As per IPL rules, 2 new IPL teams are allowed to pick a maximum of 3 players ahead of the IPL 2022 Mega Auction. The lucknow-based team may rope Australia’s Steve Smith as their team skipper.
Notably, under Steve Smith’s captaincy, RPS reached the finals of the IPL 2017 where they lost the match by just 1 run to the Mumbai Indians.
The Rising Pune Supergiant franchise is owned by RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group controlled by Sanjiv Goenka. The team name was announced (as Rising Pune Supergiants) on 18 January 2016 by Goenka in Kolkata and Raghu Iyer was appointed CEO.
The owners changed the team name to Rising Pune Supergiant on 26 March 2017. The team lost the 2017 IPL Final to Mumbai Indians by 1 run, which was the team’s last game in the IPL.
The Rising Pune Supergiant was the second team representing Pune after Pune Warriors India. The team along with Gujarat Lions featured as two-season replacements for Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals, who were suspended due to their involvement in illegal betting by their respective owners.
Both teams are named under the list of IPL Defunct teams right after the end of ban duration on CSK and RR.
