Lowest team totals in IPL's history

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is a major T20 cricket tournament that has transformed the cricket frenzy in India since 2007. Managed by the BCCI, it is the richest cricket league in the world, attracting top players and major sponsors. Held annually between March and May, the IPL enjoys a special window in the ICC Future Tours Programme, making it the main focus of cricket during this period. The league has expanded over the years, with Gujarat Titans and Lucknow Super Giants joining in 2022. IPL franchise owners have also invested in global leagues like the CPL, SA20, and Major League Cricket.
