Pune will be hoping to do much better than they did in IPL 2016

Much will depend on Dhoni’s exploits in the middle-order

Since IPL 2016, there have been a lot of changes. First, MS Dhoni stepped down from limited-overs captaincy. Then he scored his maiden T20I fifty. Later, it was confirmed that Steve Smith would be taking over as captain of Rising Pune Supergiant ahead of Dhoni for IPL 2017.

In between all of that, Dhoni's batting has only gotten better. He scored an ODI century and T20I fifty in the limited-overs leg of the England series and has since then been in brilliant form during the Vijay Hazare Trophy for his state side, who he captained to the semi-final of the tournament and finished it as the side's second-leading run-scorer.

His wicketkeeping skills and fitness have never really been in doubt and ahead of IPL 2017, with his impressive batting form, he will look to finish more games for Pune.
