Seven games into this tournament, Pune Warriors have already had three captains - Angelo Mathews, Ross Taylor and Aaron Finch (all foreigners).
If not Mathews, who will walk out for the toss in Bangalore? Will they settle on an Indian captain once and for all?
Aaron Finch has three fifties so far which, along with Michael Hussey, is the most by any foreigner.
Virat Kohli needs 39 more for 2000 IPL runs.
All the four fast bowlers are doing well and Zaheer Khan is still not playing. When he comes back, it will be a plus.
