READ: Why RPS coach Fleming donned a suit for IPL-10 final
RISING PUNE SUPERGIANT coach Stephen Fleming was seen dressed up like a football coach during the IPL-10 finals between his team and Mumbai Indians.
The former Kiwi batsman looked dapper as he wore a black suit and sat in the dugout. It is learnt that Fleming had a bet with the players that he would dress like that if his team reached the final of the cash-rich tournament. And, courtesy of the team’s impressive performance, Pune made it to finals by beating Mumbai Indians by 20-runs in the first IPL-10 Qualifier, held at Wankhede.
