IPL 2017: Top 5 lowest team totals in IPL history

#1 Rajasthan Royals (58) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB hold the record for dismissing the opposition for the lowest score

Due to the general elections in 2009, the IPL tournament was played in South Africa. The second league match of the IPL's 2009 season was between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Newlands.

Pietersen, RCB’s captain, won the toss and RCB batted first. RR had a flying start in the game when their bowler, Dimitri Mascarenhas, removed RCB’s top-order in no time. RCB openers, Robin Uthappa and Jesse Ryder were dismissed for three runs and a duck respectively, while Ross Taylor was also sent back without scoring a run.

The middle-order of Pietersen and Rahul Dravid stitched together a useful partnership and the duo added 35 runs for the fourth wicket. Following their dismissal, RCB faced another batting collapse before being bowled out for a mere 133 runs.

However, the best bowling show was on show in the second innings when the ball came to the hands of Indian spin legend, Anil Kumble. Praveen Kumar opened the bowling for RCB and he struck on the fifth delivery of the first over. He removed RR’s Swapnil Asnodkar before he dismissed Graeme Smith in his next over.

Following that, the likes of Ryder and Kumble derailed the rest of the RR line-up for a humiliating total of 58. Kumble became the third Indian to take a five-wicket haul in the IPL.
