IPL 2018: Teams with most playoff appearances without a title

#4 Rising Pune Supergiant - 1

MS Dhoni was the captain in 2016 but after a poor season, Steve Smith was appointed as captain.

Rising Pune Supergiant was the other new team that was introduced into the IPL after CSK and RR were banned. They played the first game of the 2016 IPL and started with a win over defending champions Mumbai Indians.

However, injuries combined with a loss of form of key players meant that RPS could never get going and it required MS Dhoni to hit 12 runs off the last two deliveries (two sixes off the last two balls) to avoid the wooden spoon in their maiden season.

However, they had a season to remember in the following year. In 2017, they finished second on the points table with nine wins and five losses.

They won the first qualifier as well to go through to the finals. But a heartbreak in the finals came along as they by one run. RPS ended up second and their term was over as they were on a two-year contract.
