Royal Challengers Bangalore created a new record in the Indian Premier League as they slumped to 49 all out, the lowest score in the league’s ten-year history, against Kolkata Knight Riders on Sunday.

Chasing a low total of 132, the celebrated RCB batting lineup including the likes of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers, lost by a whopping 82 runs. The collapse began with opener Kohli’s first-ball duck and it was all over in in just 9.4 overs.

RCB now hold the record for the highest and lowest scores in IPL history, and coincidentally, both have come on the same day, four years apart.

Here are some crazy stats from the game, that show just how disastrous the RCB batting collapse was

  • RCB’s 49 all out is the lowest ever score in an IPL match. Interestingly, RCB was on the other end of the earlier record, when Rajasthan Royals were dismissed for 58 against the Royal Challengers Bangalore at Cape Town in 2009. 
  • The RCB innings lasted 9.4 overs – the shortest ever in IPL history, beating Mumbai Indians’ were 12.5 overs against Kings XI Punjab at Mohali back in 2011. In fact, there has been only one shorter innings than this in T20 history. 
  • The top-score for RCB was Kedar Jadhav’s 9 as none of the batsmen reached double digits. This is the first time ever in IPL that no batsmen has crossed double figures in an innings.
  • The combined match tally of runs for Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers is 15 – the lowest for the trio in a match in which all of them batted.
  • This was Kohli’s third golden duck in the IPL and RCB have lost on all three occasions.
