They lost two matches but again won the next match against Kings XI Punjab. By the end of the group stage, RCB was on tie with Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Daredevils but the former got through the Playoffs given higher run-rate. They made to the semi-final and met with Mumbai Indians but the latter got the better out of them and RCB had to leave the series with 3rd place on points table.
The 3rd season was one of the worst years for the Punjab Kings. They lost in first three matches against Delhi Daredevils, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Deccan Chargers. The 4th match was a tie with Chennai Super Kings. But, they again lost the following 4 matches against RR, KKR, MI and RCB. Of the 14 matches played, the team could only win at 4. Shaun Marsh tried his best to bolster the team’s performance but lack of contribution from other players turned the table against the team. KXIP finished at the last position of the points table.
