Rajasthan Royals register third lowest IPL total, their second lowest in RR vs RCB 

Rajasthan Royals ended up with an unwanted record following their humiliating 112-run defeat against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The Sanju Samson-led side registered the third-lowest total in an innings in the IPL history.

Valiant fifties from Faf du Plessis (55) and Glenn Maxwell (54) followed by a handy cameo from Anuj Rawat (29* off 11 balls) helped RCB to set Royals for a challenging target of 172 on a tricky surface.

RCB pacer Mohammed Siraj drew the first blood for his team with the dismissal of the in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal for a second-ball duck.

Wayne Parnell later ran through the RR batting order with the important scalps of Jos Buttler (0), Sanju Samson (4) and Joe Root (10) as the hosts were reeling at 28/5 at the end of the powerplay.

Shimron Hetmyer (35 off 19 balls) was the lone batter from RR to show intent with the bat, but he too perished against Glenn Maxwell in the 10th over.

RCB spinners accounted for five wickets with Michael Bracewell and Karn Sharma picking up two each as Royals were bowled out for 59 in just 10.3 overs. This was the third-lowest total of the IPL and second-lowest for Rajasthan Royals as well.

RR vs RCB: Which team holds the record for lowest total in IPL?

Royal Challengers Bangalore hold the unwanted record for the lowest total in the IPL. They registered 49/10 against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 23, 2017 at Eden Gardens while chasing 132.

Rajasthan Royals themselves held an embarassing record before KKR made a mockery of RCB's star-studded batting order in IPL 2017. Royals were bowled out for 58 by RCB on April 18, 2009, at Newlands in Cape Town in a 134-run chase.
