However, under the captaincy of KL Rahul, KXIP managed to pull things off tremendously in the second half of the competition and won five games on the trot to revive their playoffs hopes. Kings XI Punjab had their destiny in their own hands after those five wins coupled with other teams’ struggles towards the business end of the IPL 2020. Win in the last two games or even one would have seen them make it to the playoffs.

Despite the late boost, KXIP ended up losing both the games and eventually finished the competition at the sixth spot. Punjab has not made it to the playoffs since 2014 when they had lost the final to Kolkata Knight Riders.
