Captain Karun Nair (11), Corey Anderson (18) and Kagiso Rabada (11) got into double figures, with the next best being 6!

Rajasthan Royals – 59** > In 2023, Rajasthan Royals were bowled out for just 59 runs by RCB in Jaipur,the third-lowest total in IPL history.\ > \ > – The 112-run loss in that match still stands as RR’s biggest defeat ever in the tournament. [pic.twitter.com/p97oZ4tpai](https://t.co/p97oZ4tpai) > > — Vipin Tiwari (@Vipintiwari952) [April 13, 2025](https://twitter.com/Vipintiwari952/status/1911354489942020388?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) The third lowest total was by the Rajasthan Royals, who were bowled out for just 59 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2023. They were chasing 172 to win, but Wayne Parnell took 3-10 as he and the other bowlers destroyed Rajasthan Royals. Only two players hit double figures. Joe Root scored 10, and amazingly out of a total of only 59 – Shimron Hetmyer scored 35 off 19 balls. You can read the full scorecard **[here](https://www.iplt20.com/match/2023/915)** ## **2. Rajasthan Royals – 58** Back to 2009, and in only the second season of the IPL, the Rajasthan Royals were again bowled out for 58 against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Chasing a modest 134 to win, Praveen Kumar (2-7) and Dale Steyn (0-6) bowled the first five overs for 13 runs. However, it was the bowling on Anil Kumble to decimated the batting lineup. His figures of 5-5 off 19 balls is quite simply sublime. Three batters scored 11 runs each – Tyron Henderson, Yusuf Pathan and Ravindra Jadeja.

Royal Challengers Bangalore – 49** > Delhi Capitals 9/6 in 4 overs?! 🤯\ > \ > Is the legendary RCB 49 all-out record finally in danger of being broken tonight? \ > \ > Hazlewood and Bhuvi are absolutely breathing fire at the Arun Jaitley Stadium! 🔥\ > \ > Delhi Capitals are in serious trouble. Will they cross 49 or is history about… [pic.twitter.com/yUrEPTGhST](https://t.co/yUrEPTGhST) > > — Cricket Wisdom (@Cricketadd75277) [April 27, 2026](https://twitter.com/Cricketadd75277/status/2048772444606107892?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw) The lowest ever total in IPL history is 49 as the Royal Challengers Bangalore were skittled by Kolkata Knight Riders in 2017. However, when you look at the line for RCB in this game, you have to wonder how that was even possible? Chasing a very modest 132 to win, and with the likes of Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers in the top four, that should be plain sailing… The KKR bowlers had other ideas. Chris Woakes took 3-6 off 12 balls, Colin de Grandhomme had 3-4 off 10 balls, and Nathan Coulter-Nile’s spell of 3-21 had RCB reeling – not one batter made it to double figures. Kedar Jadhav top scored with 9. You can read the full scorecard **[here](https://www.iplt20.com/match/2017/10609)**
