The second match of the widely coveted Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 is between Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) and Mumbai Indians (MI) on 6th April at Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) International Stadium, Pune. Before the existence of Pune Warriors and Rising Pune Supergiant, MCA International Cricket Stadium, Pune was the secondary home ground for Mumbai Indians which adds to the rivalry even more.

This year Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) is led by Australian Skipper Steve Smith, who was chosen over MS Dhoni which is quite a feat in itself. Last season Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) finished on the abysmal 7th position in the points table, which the team wants to forget and perform better this year. This year RPS has spent Rs 14.5 crore to buy the all-rounder Ben Stokes, while Mumbai Indians made no major changes in the team except for the fact that Mitchell Johnson is now included in the squad. Mumbai Indians just missed by a scratch to qualify for the playoff in IPL 2016, finishing 5th on the points table.
