They never recovered after the hammering from the Mumbai batsmen, and they lost five successive matches, despite being in an advantageous position in a couple of games. They managed to take the first innings lead against Assam home and Andhra away, but failed to capitalise on the advantage and crashed to outright defeats. Frequent changes in the team also did not help their cause. The most successive bowler in the team, Mediumpacer Kartikeya Kak, with a total of 23 wickets from 6 matches, including a best of 791 against Maharashtra in the last game, was not spared.
