Top 4 unlikely record-holders in the IPL

#2 Lowest innings total

Star-studded Royal Challengers Bangalore shockingly slumped to the lowest ever IPL total

The first ever match in the history of the IPL witnessed the Kolkata Knight Riders impose a crushing 140-run defeat on the Royal Challengers Bangalore. This remains, to this day, one of the IPL's top five biggest victories in terms of runs.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore were bundled out for a mere 82 in their home stadium, the Chinnaswamy. Since then, however, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have clobbered many a bowling attack. The Chinnaswamy has proven to be famous for having one of the flattest tracks in the country, and 200+ scores became a common sight for the die-hard Bangalore fans. It is no surprise that three of the five top scores in an innings in IPL history belong to the Royal Challengers Bangalore.

In the 2017 season, the franchisee from Bangalore boasted of the strongest batting lineup in the league with players like Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, AB de Villiers, Shane Watson and Kedar Jadhav in their ranks. It is shocking that this outrageous batting lineup slumped to record the lowest innings total in the history of the IPL. The side from Bangalore were to chase a humble total of 132 against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens.

An incredible implosion saw the Royal Challengers all-out for a total of just 49 runs. None of the eleven batsmen succeeded in reaching the two-digit figure with the bat. Exactly four years after registering the highest-ever IPL score, the Royal Challengers Bangalore were miraculously demolished for the lowest ever score.
