"If we continue to play like this we can finish on the top. We work as a team and play as a team," the Italian who captained the side in the absence of David Trezeguet told reporters.
Pune City FC jumped to third spot behind Chennaiyin FC on goal difference while Atletico de Kolkata remained steady on 12 points.
Bruno said it was an opportunity for Dudu to make it count.
