IPL history: 3 lowest totals by Rajasthan Royals

#1 58 vs Royal Challengers Bangalore – 2009 (Cape Town)

Jessie Ryder picked up a couple of wickets as RR were bowled out for 58

RCB and RR had contrasting seasons in 2008. While the Royals lifted the IPL title, RCB finished seventh. However, the tide turned in the 2009 season when the IPL was shifted to South Africa. In the second game of the season, the defending champions faced the Bangalore-based franchise.

RCB won the toss and opted to bat first but they got off to a terrible start. Dimitri Mascarenhas wreaked havoc as he picked up three quick wickets to push RCB back. But 32 from Kevin Pietersen and 66 from Rahul Dravid helped RCB post 132 in their 20 overs.

RR crumbled in their chase as they were bowled out for a mere 58. They kept losing wickets and never got any momentum in their innings. Praveen Kumar picked up the first couple of wickets before Anil Kumble worked his magic picking up 5/5, helping RCB win by 75 runs. This 58 was the lowest total for close to 9 years before RCB sunk to a new low in 2017 when they were bowled out for 49.
