IPL 2017: Top 5 lowest team totals in IPL history

#3 Royal Challengers Bangalore (70) vs Rajasthan Royals

RCB were embarrassingly dismissed for just 70 runs

In 2014, due to the general elections, the first leg of the IPL was held in the UAE at three different stadiums in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah and the tournament returned to India on May 2.

In a match during the first leg of the IPL in the UAE, RCB faced a drubbing and were bowled out for under 100. It was the 14th league match of IPL 2014 and was played at Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed Stadium. The opponents were the side that held the record for the lowest team total in the IPL – Rajasthan Royals.

Shane Watson won the toss and put RCB to bat first. Stuart Binny, who bowled the first over for RR, gave his side a spectacular start and drew first blood in the fourth delivery when Yogesh Takawale gave a simple catch to Sanju Samson behind the wickets. That was followed by a superb run out by Ajinkya Rahane and Samson, and RCB’s other opener, Parthiv Patel had to walk back having scored just one run.

However, it was Pravin Tambe who was the pick of the bowlers. He picked four wickets that included the crucial wicket of RCB captain, Virat Kohli. RCB were bowled out for 70 in 15 overs. In reply, even though RCB fast bowler Mitchell Starc struck early, RR chased the target with seven overs to spare.
