Debutants Rising Pune Supergiants started their Indian Premier League campaign with a comfortable win against the reigning champions.
Ajinkya made a brilliant unbeaten 66 off 42 balls, after skipper MS Dhoni marshaled his resources brilliantly in the first innings to restrict a batting heavy Mumbai Indians team for 121 runs.
