Indian Premier League (IPL) was played first back in 2008, and since then it has become a major part in the franchise cricket history. The IPL has given the vision to other cricket boards to introduce their own franchise tournament. But no league can match what the IPL brings to the table.
This league has seen many different types of records in the past, and we will talk here about the record for the lowest total. Teams have recorded some of the lowest totals in the IPL history. Some of them are the lowest in T20 history, which is why it is very embarrassing for some teams. So, let’s check out the lowest scores in IPL history.
