5 Records held by the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL

#3 Bowled Out RCB for the lowest IPL total ever - 49

Kolkata was all over RCB at Eden Gardens

KKR were hosting the mighty Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Eden Gardens on 23rd April 2017. Virat Kohli won the toss and chose to bowl first on the quick Eden wicket. Batting first, Sunil Narine gave a good start as he smashed 18 runs off the first over which was bowled by his teammate Samuel Badree.

But once Narine got out for 34, no one would have imagined that this would be the highest score in the game as KKR collapsed and lost nine wickets for 66 runs. They were bowled out for 131 in 19.3 overs.

It seemed that it would be a walk in the park for RCB who had Gayle, Kohli and de Villiers in their batting line-up. But what we witnessed was something different and special.

A classical spell of fast bowling from the KKR quicks meant that RCB’s team total couldn’t cross the 50 run mark. RCB were bowled out for 49 with no batsmen reaching the double figures.

KKR’s pacers picked up all the ten wickets as they bowled out RCB for the lowest ever total in the IPL.
