Pune Warriors India (Marathi: पुणे वारीयर्स इंडिया, abbreviated as PWI) was a franchise cricket team representing the city of Pune in the Indian Premier League. The team was one of two IPL franchises from the Indian state of Maharashtra, the other being Mumbai Indians. It was also one of the two new franchises added to the IPL for the 2011 season, alongside the also-defunct Kochi Tuskers Kerala. The team was owned by Sahara Adventure Sports Limited, a group company of the Indian business conglomerate Sahara India Pariwar.[2]
The team's home ground was the Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium[1][3] located in the Pune suburb of Gahunje.[4] The team was not successful in the tournament, finishing second from last in their inaugural season and in their final season and last in 2012.
On 21 May 2013, Pune Warriors India withdrew from the IPL over financial differences with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) stemming from the valuation of the annual franchise fee it had to pay.[5] Their last match, before pulling out, was on 19 May 2013 against Delhi Daredevils.

Franchise history [edit]
On 21 March 2010, Sahara Adventure Sports Limited successfully bid
1900 crore (US$350 million) for the Pune franchise, the highest bid by any company in the history of IPL.[6] The Videocon Group, an Indian consumer appliance manufacturer, also bid for the Pune IPL Team, but were unsuccessful. Along with Kochi Tuskers Kerala, the team joined the existing eight teams in the IPL for the 2011 season.
2011 season [edit]
Being a new team in the IPL with a fresh auction purse, the Warriors bid very aggressively in the 2011 IPL auction held on 9 January 2011. The Warriors signed a number of top international cricketers including Yuvraj Singh, Robin Uthappa, Jesse Ryder, Angelo Mathews, Murali Kartik, Ashish Nehra, Graeme Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Callum Ferguson, Alfonso Thomas, Wayne Parnell and Jerome Taylor.[7] Also a number of uncapped Indian players who had played for various franchises before were roped in including Abhishek Jhunjhunwala, Mithun Manhas, Mohnish Mishra, Ganesh Gaikwad, Manish Pandey and Kamran Khan. Yuvraj was nominated the captain of the team ahead of the 2011 Indian Premier League,[8] while former Australian opener Geoff Marsh was appointed as the team's coach.[9] On 3 May 2011, the Pune Warriors selected former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly to play for them as a replacement for the injured Ashish Nehra.[10] This marked Ganguly's comeback to the IPL. Ganguly had been discarded by his former team Kolkata Knight Riders prior to the 2011 IPL auction and was not bought by any of the teams in the auction.[7]
The Warriors got off to a successful start in the 2011 Indian Premier League by defeating Kings XI Punjab and Kochi Tuskers Kerala at home. Following this successful start however, the team's performance went downhill and they only won another 2 matches that season, which were against Kings XI Punjab and Deccan Chargers, both away. Their final match of the season against Delhi Daredevils away was abandoned due to rain.[11] Pune finished 9th and second-last that season with 4 wins, 9 losses and 1 no-result in 14 matches.
First withdrawal from IPL and return [edit]
Sahara withdrew Pune Warriors India from the IPL along with the sponsorship of the Indian cricket team just hours before the 2012 IPL auction was about to start, providing a major blow to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the IPL, which was already reeling after the disbanding of Kochi Tuskers Kerala in late 2011.[12] They also boycotted the auction held on 4 February 2012. The reason for the withdrawal was due to disputes between Sahara and the BCCI regarding the IPL rules, such as player retention and the 4-foreign player rule and also the refusal on the part of the BCCI to allow Pune to add Yuvraj Singh's price to their auction purse so that they could buy another player as a replacement for Yuvraj. Yuvraj was set to miss the whole 2012 season as he was undergoing treatment for germ cell cancer.[12] On 6 February 2012, Subrata Roy said that Sourav Ganguly will take a call on reconciliation.[13] A week later, the BCCI announced that they have allowed Yuvraj Singh's replacement for Pune Warriors India for the 2012 season, though a deadlock still persisted between the two parties on long term sponsorship.[14]
On 16 February 2012, the BCCI and Sahara ended their differences and announced that Pune Warriors India will play in IPL 5.[15] The BCCI agreed to give Sahara a total purse of $3.4 million, $1.6 million from the money that they had for the auction and $1.8 million as compensation due to the absence of Yuvraj. It was also decided that Pune could replace Yuvraj with one player, whose fees would be up to $1.8 million. IPL's trading window was extended up to 29 February 2012 to allow the team to purchase players. Pune was also allowed the compensation of playing 5 foreign players in the squad, subject to the consent of the other 8 franchises. The BCCI also allowed Sahara to have a strategic partner in the franchise. Pune's new stadium would be allowed to host one of the play off matches, provided Royal Challengers Bangalore gave consent, because according to a BCCI rule, the right to host the play off matches is given to the finalist of the previous edition. (RCB were the runners-up in the previous tournament).[16]
2012 season [edit]
Though Pune boycotted the IPL auction, they signed international cricketers outside the auction including Marlon Samuels, Luke Wright, Steve Smith, Tamim Iqbal and Michael Clarke. They also signed Indian players including Raiphi Gomez, Ali Murtaza, Ashok Dinda, Anustup Majumdar and Mahesh Rawat. Due to Yuvraj's unavailability for the entire season, Ganguly was made the captain of the franchise.[17] He was also made part of the coaching staff as a mentor.[18] Former South African fast bowler Allan Donald and former Indian batsman Praveen Amre were also roped in as bowling and batting coaches respectively, replacing Marsh who had resigned to become the Sri Lankan coach.[18]
The team started off their IPL 2012 campaign with wins against Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab away and at home respectively. But just like in 2011, the team could not maintain the initial momentum and again managed to win only 2 more matches that season, against defending champions Chennai Super Kings at home and Delhi Daredevils away. Midway through the season, Ganguly was sacked as captain and was dropped from the team due to lack of results, but was retained as mentor.[17] Michael Clarke was made the new captain, but still the team could not reverse its fortunes and finished last that season with 4 wins and 12 losses in 16 matches.
2013 season [edit]
For the 2013 season, Pune Warriors India retained Steve Smith, Tamim Iqbal, Marlon Samuels and Luke Wright but released Clarke, Callum Ferguson, Alfonso Thomas, Murali Kartik and Jesse Ryder. Ganguly announced his retirement from all forms of cricket in October 2012,[19] leaving the franchise without a captain. In the auction which was held on 3 February 2013, Clarke was bought back by the franchise for $400,000.[20] The team also bought international players like Abhishek Nayar, Ajantha Mendis and Kane Richardson and signed domestic players like Tirumalasetti Suman, Ishwar Pandey, Parvez Rasool and Udit Birla for the 2013 season. The franchise also swapped a player with the Delhi Daredevils, trading Nehra for New Zealand batsman Ross Taylor.[21] Yuvraj also returned to the team following his recovery from cancer. Unfortunately for the franchise, Clarke, who was the frontrunner to lead the team, was ruled out of the entire season with a recurring back and hamstring injury, which was aggravated during the Australian tour of India held earlier.[22] On 28 March 2013, the franchise named Sri Lankan Test and ODI captain and all-rounder Angelo Mathews as the captain for the 2013 season[23] and also signed Australian batsman Aaron Finch as a replacement for Clarke.[24]
The team's performance in the 2013 season was pathetic and mirrored its performance in 2012 with 4 wins and 12 losses, finishing 8th and second-last in the league. The only matches the team managed to win were against Rajasthan Royals (home), Chennai Super Kings (away), Kolkata Knight Riders (away) and Delhi Daredevils (home). The Warriors were thoroughly humiliated in their away match against Royal Challengers Bangalore, courtesy Chris Gayle's 175 not out off only 66 balls and later became the first team in the 2013 season to be knocked out of contention for the playoffs after a loss to Chennai Super Kings at home. Like the previous seasons, the main cause for the team's poor performance was their constant squandering of winning chances and the lack of balance in the side, with more than 30 players being used during the season. The team was the only IPL franchise to use three captains that season. Mathews was sacked as captain following a poor start by the Warriors in the tournament and was replaced by Taylor for the away match against Chennai Super Kings. Following this match, Taylor was also sacked as captain due to his poor form, inspite of the team winning in Chennai, and was replaced by Finch, who captained the Warriors for the rest of the season.
Second withdrawal from IPL [edit]
On 21 May 2013, just two days after finishing its league campaign, Sahara withdrew Pune Warriors India from the IPL.[5] The reason was due to the BCCI encashing the team's bank guarantee after the latter defaulted on paying the franchise fee.[5] BCCI sources said that Sahara paid 20 per cent of the franchise fee in January and had promised to pay the remaining amount by May 19 but they failed to do so.[25] In a statement from Sahara after pulling out Pune Warriors India from the IPL, it stated that it was "disgusted" by the unsporting and biased attitude of the BCCI towards Sahara and the Pune franchise,[26] the decision to withdraw from the IPL was final and it will not return to the IPL even if the entire franchise fee is waived off by the BCCI.[26] However, Sahara also stated that it would remain the sponsor of the Indian cricket team until December 2013, when its contract with the BCCI expires, following which it asked the BCCI to find a new sponsor for the team.[26]
Home ground [edit]
In their inaugural season in 2011, the team played their home matches in at the DY Patil Stadium at Navi Mumbai, as their designated home venue, the Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, was still under construction. Only from the 2012 season onwards did the team actually began to play their home matches in Pune at the Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium, named after the Chairman of Sahara India Pariwar. It is located at Gahunje, a village located about 23 kilometres (14 mi) north-west of Pune on the Mumbai Pune Expressway.[4] It has a seating capacity of 55,000 spectators.[1]
The stadium became a source of contention between Sahara India Pariwar and the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA). In early 2013, Sahara moved court over the termination of the agreement between it and the MCA over the stadium by the latter. MCA had terminated the agreement on the ground due to Sahara defaulting over payments to the MCA and had renamed the stadium as the MCA Pune International Cricket Centre.[27] Sahara decided to play all their home matches outside Pune till the issue was resolved.[28] On 15 March 2013, the issue was finally resolved, with Sahara agreeing to pay all existing dues within three months.[29]. The stadium was renamed back to Subrata Roy Sahara Stadium and MCA also allowed Pune Warriors India to play all its home matches in the stadium.[28][29]
Team identity [edit]
Team name and logo [edit]
The Pune franchise named the team as Pune Warriors India in honour of the Maratha Empire which once ruled from the city. The Pune Warriors India logo comprised of a spear wielding, attacking cavalry-warrior (warrior on horse) in the hue of the Indian tricolour.[30]
Jersey colours [edit]
In their inaugural season, the team's jersey was black with silver stripes on the sides. The jersey also incorporated the attacking warrior logo in the top-left corner of the shirt. From the 2012 season onwards, the colour of the jersey was changed to turquoise blue with silver stripes on the sides and the Indian tricolour on the back collar and sleeve edges of the shirt. The attacking warrior logo was again on the top-left corner of the shirt. Adidas was the kit manufacturer for the 2011 season, but for the subsequent seasons, T. K. Sportswear was the kit manufacturer. Indian online fashion clothing brand American Swan was the official lifestyle clothing partner for the team.[31]
Sponsors [edit]
For their first two seasons, the main sponsor for the team was TVS Motors.[32] TVS was replaced as the team's main sponsor for the 2013 season by Sansui Electric, a Japanese consumer appliance manufacturer.[33] The other sponsors were Lux Cozi, Nissan, UB Group, Linc Pens, Oakley Inc., You Broadband, Killer Jeans and Finolex Group.
Theme song [edit]
The team's official theme song was Sahara Saharaa, sung by leading playback singer and music composer Shankar Mahadevan.[34] The video of the song showed a warrior riding on a horse and inspiring the Pune residents to come to the stadium where they witness the team cricketers.
Indian cheerleaders [edit]
Pune Warriors India was the only IPL franchise which used Indian cheerleaders unlike the other franchises which use foreign cheerleaders. Known as Cheer Queens, these cheerleaders were dressed up in traditional Indian attire designed by famous Bollywood designer Neeta Lulla and performed traditional Indian dances choreographed by ace choreographers Ganesh Hegde and Tanusree Shankar, not the traditional gymnastic routines which are usually associated with cheerleading.[35] In the words of Subrata Roy-
With Pune Warriors India's Cheer Queens, we intend to showcase and bring recognition to the rich and diverse culture of India at an international platform. The opportunity, which we want all the franchisees of IPL to avail collectively, so that the rich cultural heritage of India is presented in an innovative way to the world.[35]
