RCB was unable to win a single game in their first six encounters. Though RCB made a comeback with the introduction of Dale Steyn, who replaced the injured Nathan Coulter-Nile, they were once again found wanting when the seamer had to return after sustaining a shoulder injury. Sporadic heroics by the star-studded line-up could only lead to five victories for the side by the end of the league stage.
