RCB batters produced a shocking performance against the Punjab Kings as they have lost half the side inside 6 overs with the team tottering at 33/5. RCB were put into bat first by Shreyas Iyer and not even in the wildest dream the franchise would have thought that they will struggle to score runs.
In a rain-curtailed 14 overs game, RCB are 5 down, and now the question arises, what is RCB's lowest IPL total?
RCB's Lowest Score In IPL History
RCB's lowest score in IPL is 49, an unwanted record they achieved against KKR in 2017 season. In a game at the Eden Gardens, the RCB side crumbled and recorded their lowest total. Interestingly, at one point of time, the team also had the record of the highest total in the history of the league.

How PBKS decimated RCB
Shreyas Iyer won the toss and the decision to bowl first was the right decision as wickets started to tumble at regular intervals. Phil Salt departed first, and Virat Kohli followed him soon.
The wicket-floodgates opened as barring Rajat Patidar, none of the RCB batters stood tall and at 33 runs, they lost 5 wickets, with the 6th wicket down at 41. At the moment, RCB are 42/6 inside 8 overs.
