Lowest score In IPL - 10 things to know with detail
The lowest team score in IPL history is 49 all out by Royal Challengers Bangalore against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 23, 2017.
RCB's batting collapse was the result of some exceptional bowling by KKR's pacers, especially Nathan Coulter-Nile who took 3 wickets for just 21 runs.
The match took place at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore, a high-scoring ground where teams usually post big totals.
RCB's innings lasted just 9.4 overs, with only three batsmen managing to reach double figures. The top scorer was Kedar Jadhav with 9 runs.
KKR's bowlers, led by Coulter-Nile and Umesh Yadav, exploited the pitch conditions perfectly to bundle out RCB for their lowest ever total in IPL history.
The previous lowest team score in IPL was 58 all out by Rajasthan Royals against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2009.
RCB's dismal performance in this match led to widespread criticism of their batting lineup and team selection.
The match was a one-sided affair, with KKR chasing down the target in just 5.2 overs, winning by 10 wickets with openers Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine remaining unbeaten.
The low team score of 49 all out is a stark reminder of how quickly things can go wrong in T20 cricket, where momentum can shift rapidly.
This match goes down in history as one of the most embarrassing moments for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the game.
