IPL history: 3 lowest totals by Rajasthan Royals

#2 81 vs Kolkata Knight Riders – 2011 (Kolkata)

The Royals struggled against KKR in the 2011 season

In 2011, Rajasthan Royals had a good start to the season. They won their first couple of games before they lost twice in two games against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). In the second game against KKR, Rajasthan Royals registered their second lowest total ever in the IPL.

In their fourth game of the league, Rajasthan Royals were put into bat as KKR won the toss at the Eden Gardens. But the Royals batting line-up never got going as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. The openers put on 24 off 22 balls before the slide began. All KKR bowlers chipped in as they bundled the Royals out for just 81. The innings lasted just 15.2 overs as just one RR batsman could go past the 20-run mark.

KKR did lose Jacques Kallis off the second delivery of the innings, Manvinder Bisla didn’t last long either but Gautam Gambhir and Manoj Tiwary scored 30s as they took KKR through as they chased down 82 in 13.5 overs.
