Rating Royal Challengers Banglore's performance in each IPL from 2008-2018

2013 - Royal Challengers Bangalore finish 5th for the 2nd consecutive time

Virat Kohli was named the skipper of the team for IPL 2013

Royal Challengers Bangalore won their first match of the 2013 season by defeating Mumbai Indians by a close margin of two runs.

The team had made some drastic changes in their team as they bought RP Singh, Jaydev Unadkat, Moises Henriques and Ravi Rampaul in the auction to strengthen their pace department.

Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli's performances met with full support from the bowlers. Royal Challengers Bangalore won six out of their first eight matches to take the pole position in the points table.

But, Kohli's men witnessed a dramatic dip in form as they slumped to the fourth position after losing five out of the next seven matches.

RCB won their last match with a huge margin but their chances of qualification depended on the match between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders.

However, the result did not go in RCB's way as SRH took the fourth position in the points table.

After a rocking start, RCB found a way to crash out of the tournament which disappointed the fans.

Rating - 6/10
