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

2010 - Anil Kumble's men finish third after reaching the top 4 by good luck

Royal Challengers Bangalore won the third place play-off against Deccan Chargers

The tournament returned to India in the year 2010 as Royal Challengers Bangalore looked to continue their form of South Africa in the third season.

They suffered a defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders to kick off the season but the team bounced back in style winning four of its next six matches thanks to some match-winning performances by Jacques Kallis and Robin Uthappa, who re-joined the side in 2010.

Anil Kumble's men suffered a dip in form as they could win only three of their remaining seven matches.

They had 14 points to their name at the end of the league stage and were one among the four teams tied at 14 points after 14 league matches.

However, a superior net run-rate ensured that Bangalore notch the fourth position in the table and move on to the semi-finals.

Table-toppers Mumbai Indians ended their journey in the semifinals as they defeated RCB by 35 runs. Bangalore, however, took part in the third place play-off, where they avenged their 2009 IPL final defeat against Deccan Chargers.

Kallis, Kumble and R Vinay Kumar were the top performers of the team as the trio helped the team finish in the top 4 for the second consecutive time.

Rating - 8/10
