Pune's second franchise, and the other stand-in of 2016-17. MS Dhoni captained the first season and finished 7th; Steve Smith took over for 2017, with Stephen Fleming coaching both years, and Pune surged to the final, losing to Mumbai Indians by a single run in Hyderabad, the closest final of the era. Like Gujarat Lions, the franchise was always a two-season arrangement and dissolved when Chennai and Rajasthan returned in 2018.

Milestones

2016 · Debut season under MS Dhoni, finished 7th.
2017 · Steve Smith took over as captain and led Pune to the final, lost to Mumbai Indians by one run; franchise dissolved after the season.
