Gujarat Lions made it two wins in two in the 2016 IPL, winning the battle of the two new franchises, beating Rising Pune Supergiants by seven wickets in Rajkot. Set 164 to win, Gujarats devastating opening pair of Aaron Finch (50 off 36 balls) and Brendon McCullum (49 off 31) were just that, putting on 85 for the first wicket inside nine overs.Dwayne Bravo - who earlier took the key wicket of Kevin Pietersen (37 off 31) in Punes innings - blasted an unbeaten 22 from 10 deliveries to see the Lions win with 11 balls to spare.Pietersen had earlier put on 86 for the second wicket with Faf du Plessis - who smashed 69 from 43 - but Punes innings faltered after both fell. The Inside the IPL panel discuss the Gujarat Lions victory over the Rising Pune Supergiants Supergiants skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and decided to bat first, and Ajinkya Rahane (21 off 17) got the side off to a super start, smacking four boundaries in the first four overs before falling lbw to Pravin Tambe (2-33).Du Plessis and Pietersen countered, adding 38 runs in the next three, with Du Plessis smashing three sixes straight down the ground, and Pietersen pulling one over deep backward square leg.Bravo (1-43) was blasted for two of those sixes in a first over that cost 16, but bounced back with the wicket of Pietersen in the 14th over, to his trademark slower ball.Still well placed at 121-2 with five overs to go, Pune then managed only 22 runs from their next four, with Du Plessis falling - a ball after just smashing Tambe for a four and six off consecutive deliveries - as well as Australians Steve Smith and Mitchell Marsh, both out cheaply to Ravindra Jadeja (2-18).But just as it looked like Pune were well short of a par score, their captain Dhoni cracked 20 off former Chennai team-mate Bravos final over, hitting two fours and a six, taking the teams total to 163-5.Gujarats innings got off to an explosive start with McCullum clearing the ropes twice in RP Singhs third over, while Finch crunched four fours off Murugan Ashwin and tonked Rajat Bhatia for two sixes in the sixth and seventh.Finch fell soon after, three balls after bringing up his fifty, while McCullum departed one run shy of his half century in the 14th over.Lions skipper Suresh Raina added a run-a-ball 24 before being stumped by Dhoni to Murugan (2-31), but Bravos cameo - including three fours in a row off Ishant Sharma - saw the side home.Watch continued coverage of the IPL on Sky Sports, with the next live action seeing Delhi Daredevils facing Kings XI Punjab from 3pm on Sky Sports 2 on Friday.

PISCATAWAY, N.J. -- Rutgers has to replace its top playmaker on offense, and it may take more than one player to do it.With wide receiver/kick returner Janarion Grant out for the season, Rutgers faces a major task heading to No. 2 Ohio State (3-0, 0-0 Big Ten) on Saturday.Grant did a little bit of everything for the Scarlet Knights (2-2, 0-1 Big Ten). A dynamic kickoff and punt returner, his role had expanded significantly this season, even handling some snaps as a wildcat quarterback. He averaged 163.8 all-purpose yards and had a hand in six touchdowns. He scored on kickoff and punt returns, ran for three and threw one.His season came to an end in the first half against Iowa when Hawkeyes cornerback Desmond King stepped on his ankle after a 76-yard catch and run.First-year coach Chris Ash says the loss wont change the way Rutgers looks offensively.We have an offensive system we believe in, Ash said. We are not going to change offensive systems. This is the blueprint of what we want the football team to look like. We are going to be a running offense, an attacking defense, we are going to have special teams the way we are.Of course, Ash knows some plays will be scrapped with Grant on the sidelines.Are there certain things we may not be able to do if certain individuals are not in there? Yeah, absolutely, Ash said. But to think we are going to go change our offensive system or defensive system because of injury, thats not going to happen.The entire receiving unit will have to increase its production, with John Tsimis and Andre Patton needing to step up at receiver.No ones role will change more than Jawuan Harris. Hell replacce Grant on special teams and offensively.ddddddddddddJawuan is a version of Janarion. He is not Janarion, but he is our next best version of Janarion, Ash said. He can do a lot of things, play receiver, running back and be a punt returner and a kickoff returner. He has those skill sets similar to what Janarion has. Its just the next-man-in philosophy for us. Janarion was a great player. He did a lot of great things for us. We are ready to see what Jawuan can do for us.The coaching staff has been preaching the next-man-up mentality. Thats how Harris saw things after seeing Grant get hurt.However, he, along with special team coordinator Vince Okruch, knows theres no next Grant on the roster.I wouldnt say Im as dynamic as Janarion. Janarion is Janarion, Harris said. (But) I feel like I can do some things. Janarion is more elusive. Im more like, get one seam and try to hit it.?On Monday, offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer said Grants injury left players emotional at halftime and after the game. Hes hoping that rallies the offense.What did Janarion give to us? Mehringer said. When we look at it from that perspective, he was part of our family, part of our unit, and on a tremendous play -- you look at the play he went down on and what he was doing on that football play ... I think we as an offense -- especially the wide receiver unit by itself, we owe it to him to give back what he gave to us in terms of production and ultimately his season.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
