India has produced numerous batters with unbelievable skills over the decades and is still continuing to do so. On the contrary, India's T20 Premier League IPL witnessed some extremely low scores of T20 in the past. The T20 format is a suitable one to score some good knocks, preferably depending on the situation and the pitch. There are few teams that could not even pass the mark of 70 and went all out in their innings. Let's take a look at the lowest team totals in IPL history.

23 April 2017 is a date that the Royal Challengers Bangalore team and the fans do not really want to remember. RCB scored the lowest ever total in the IPL history on this date against Kolkata Knight Riders. KKR had to defend a low score of 131 runs which might seem tough for a while. The trio of Nathan Coulter-Nile, Colin de Grandhomme, and Chris Woakes turned the game in KKR's favor by bundling the entire RCB for only 49 runs and KKR won the match by 81 runs. The striking part is that RCB is the team with both the lowest and the highest scores in IPL history.
