The opening game saw new Pune captain Sourav Ganguly lead his side to a 28-run win over Mumbai Indians, who perhaps missed Sachin Tendulkar, and then Rahul Dravid led the Rajasthan Royals to victory over the Kings XI Punjab and Adam Gilchrist.
Their win was set up by a wonderful 98 from Ajinkya Rahane and then four wickets on debut from Kevon Cooper.
