Key Insights

Pune Warriors India had a tough three-season stint in the IPL. They ended up managing only 12 wins in 46 matches and finished near or at the bottom each year.

Here’s how they consistently underperformed in the three years they were part of:

• 2011 (Inaugural season): Finished second from last, despite a promising squad.
• 2012: Hit rock bottom, finishing last in the standings.
• 2013 (Final season): Again ended second from last, marking a disappointing end to their IPL journey.

The franchise withdrew in May 2013 due to financial disagreements over the valuation of the annual franchise fee, and was officially terminated by the BCCI in October 2013.

The team’s top performers were Robin Uthappa (most runs) and Rahul Sharma (most wickets).

As seen in the table, Chris Gayle leads by a big margin with 383 runs, a stunning strike rate of 199.47, and an incredible average of 95.75. The Caribbean star also smashed the highest-ever T20 score of 175* against the same opponent.

When it comes to strike rate, AB de Villiers tops the list, striking at an astounding 215.94. He also boasts an excellent average of 74.50 with three not outs, highlighting how consistently aggressive he has been against the Warriors.

Another consistent performer in the list is Subramaniam Badrinath, who was dismissed only three times in five matches against the Warriors and made solid contributions, despite a modest strike rate of 127.56.
