Lowest Total in the IPL History

The Indian Premier League was introduced back in 2008 after India won the inaugural T20 World Cup in South Africa. The IPL brought the best cricketers together in one tournament. This was the first time it was happening in a cricket tournament. Over the years, the IPL became popular, and now it is one of the biggest cricket tournaments in the world.

The IPL has seen more than 16 successful seasons, and it is now a household tournament for every cricket fan. However, there have been many unbelievable moments registered in this tournament that were never repeated. Just like the lowest IPL total. Notably, the team, which is known as one of the best batting sides, registered the lowest IPL total of all-time.

Lowest IPL Total: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (49 all out)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru are one of the few teams that have been part of the IPL since the start but have not won the title yet. Unlike other teams, they have made it to the finals three times in the 2009, 2011, and 2016 seasons but couldn't get their hands on the trophy. RCB has had many good seasons.

Between 2020 and 2022, they were the only team to make it to the playoffs in three seasons in a row. But unfortunately, they haven't won the title yet. Many big names like Chris Gayle, AB de Villiers, Virat Kohli, Shane Watson, KL Rahul, Glenn Maxwell, Faf du Plessis, and many others have played for this franchise, which is why it is hard to believe that they have registered a 49-all-out.

It happened under the captaincy of Virat Kohli in 2017 at Eden Gardens. Batting first, KKR got dismissed for 131 runs in 19.1 overs, with Sunil Narine (34) scoring the most runs. It looked like an easy chase, but RCB had a horrible day, and they were bundled out in 9.4 overs for 49 runs. None of their batters reached the double digit, and they registered this unwanted record. Notably, before SRH's 277/3, RCB held the record for the highest IPL total of 263/5.
