#5 Bangalore’s telephone number
If one took a glance at the scorecard of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, they could be forgiven for mistaking it for a telephone number. Indeed, no batsman in the Royal Challengers Bangalore line-up could cross the barrier of 10 runs and their personal score to double digits.
7, 0, 1, 8, 9, 8, 2, 0, 2, 5*, 0. These are the individual scores of the Bangalore batsmen in this game, which makes us wonder whether there is any unfortunate soul with the same set of numbers as their telephone number.
The failure of Bangalore’s batsmen to reach double digits also gave them an unwanted and embarrassing record! Their total of 49 runs is now the lowest ever by any team in the history of the IPL. Nobody would have expected RCB to ‘achieve’ this unfortunate record, considering the batting line-up they possess.
