PBKS had an underwhelming season in 2022, in which they failed to reach the playoffs and finished 6th on the points table. Kumble was awarded the charge of the PBKS franchise ahead of the 2020 season but the 2014 runners-up failed to reach the second round in all three seasons under him.The decision to let Kumble go was taken by a board comprising co-owners Preity Zinta, Mohit Burman, Ness Wadia and Karan Paul, as well as Kings' chief executive officer Satish Menon.Kumble joined Kings in 2020. At the time, he became the fifth coach Kings had appointed in five seasons after Sanjay Bangar (2014-16), Virender Sehwag (2017), Brad Hodge (2018) and Mike Hesson (2019).
