The club in the book
Rising Pune Supergiant lasted two seasons, 2016 and 2017, and came within one run of a title — the 2017 final slipped away by the narrowest margin in the league's history of finals. That second season dominates their 35-season pool: Steve Smith's steady 472 runs as captain, Ben Stokes' all-round MVP campaign priced at a hefty 27.5 Cr, and Rahul Tripathi's breakout 391 runs at a strike rate of 146 for 0.2 Cr.
The shelf's highest-rated season, though, is Jaydev Unadkat's 2017: 24 wickets at an economy of 7.02 for 0.57 Cr — arguably the best cost-to-output bowling pick among all the defunct franchises. With Imran Tahir's 18-wicket year alongside, a Supergiant draft builds itself from the bowling out. Two seasons, one near-miss, and a pool that rewards exactly the kind of drafting the club itself discovered a year too late.

FAQ
How many Rising Pune Supergiant player-seasons are in the pool?
35 playable player-seasons across two years, 2016 and 2017. The 2017 side lost the final by a single run — the closest any defunct franchise came to a title — and supplies most of the shelf's best seasons.
What is the best Supergiant season in the game?
Jaydev Unadkat's 2017 — 24 wickets at an economy of 7.02 for just 0.57 Cr. It rates above Ben Stokes' famous MVP season at a fiftieth of the cost, making it one of the best bowling values anywhere in the game.
Is a strong Supergiant XI even possible from 35 seasons?
It is tight but real: Unadkat and Imran Tahir give the attack genuine teeth, Smith and Tripathi carry the batting, and the 2017 core was one run short of a title in real life. The margin for a wasted pick, however, is zero.
