The opener Mayank Agarwal is also in good form and performed well in the recently-concluded home season. Though R Ashwin is out of the IPL because of injury, Pune&#39;s spin department looks strong with experienced Imran Tahir &amp; young Adam Zampa. Fast bowling is slightly a weaker point for the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>For the first time MS Dhoni will play under the captainship of someone else in IPL.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p>Also Check <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/gallery\/436\/mahela-jayawardene-superstition-3860\">Superstitions by Famous Crickters<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><strong>Mumbai Indians<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The batting will revolve around captain Rohit Sharma, Jos Buttler, all-rounder Kieron Pollard&nbsp;and Hardik Pandya.
