Lowest Team Score in IPL (2008 - 2025)

The 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL 18), officially known as TATA IPL 2025, marks the 18th season of this highly popular cricket tournament. A total of ten teams will compete in 74 matches, scheduled to take place from March 22 to May 25, 2025. The tournament will be hosted across 13 cities in India, with Kolkata set to stage both the opening ceremony and the final. As the reigning champions, Kolkata Knight Riders will begin their title defence on their home turf.

Blistering batting and high totals are common in IPL and excite viewers the most. And players give their best to provide fans with entertainment of the highest order. As such, strategy and caution take a backseat to aggression.

Most players enter and begin hammering boundaries without feeling out the pitch or warming up. This often results in huge totals that should probably be in the 50-over ODI matches. However, in the 20-over IPL, time is of the essence, and batsmen do their best to register a big score. Unfortunately, this approach can be detrimental as well, and reckless playing can result in losing wickets early.

There have been times when strong teams, consisting of World Cup-winning players, have been routed for two-digit totals. Cricket is an unpredictable sport, and the IPL is more so. Check here the list of the lowest team scores in the history of the IPL from 2008 to 2025.

In IPL 2024, the Gujarat Titans, in a match against DC, registered their lowest team total of 89, and Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 113 against KKR.

In IPL 2025, the Chennai Super Kings, in a match against KKR, registered the lowest team total of 103, marking the team's 3rd lowest score in IPL history.

• The record for the lowest IPL totals goes to the Royal Challengers Bangalore. Coincidentally, they also hold the record for the highest IPL score.

• Rajasthan Royals is next with a 58-run total in 15.1 overs, playing against RCB of all teams. No wonder RCB is often called the strongest and weakest team in the IPL.
• Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore's clash in IPL 2023 again resulted in a dismal score from RR's side. In match 60, RCB restricted RR to 59 runs in 10.3 overs while chasing a target of 172. This was the game that helped oust RR from the playoffs by reducing their net RR.
• Delhi Daredevils occupy the fourth and fifth positions, having been bowled out for 66 and 67 runs, respectively, both in the 2017 IPL.
