Delhi Capitals sit at the top of an unwanted IPL list. They have been bowled out for less than 100 runs more times than any other team. The count now stands at 11, after their 75 all out against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in IPL 2026. Royal Challengers Bengaluru follow with 7 such totals, and Rajasthan Royals are next with 6. This article gives the full team ranking for below 100 totals in the IPL, with each team’s lowest score and the famous collapses behind the numbers.
Here, a below 100 total means an innings in which a team lost all ten wickets for less than 100 runs. Scores of exactly 100 do not count. A team that finished on 99 for 9 in 20 overs also does not count, because it was not bowled out. That clear rule keeps the list fair across seasons and across teams that are no longer in the league.
Delhi lead the list by a clear gap. Their worst day was 66 all out against Mumbai Indians in 2017, but the story is not one bad game. It is a pattern that runs through the early years of the franchise, when it played as Delhi Daredevils, and it returned in 2026 with 75 all out against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Delhi. Royal Challengers Bengaluru hold the other famous record in this area. Their 49 all out against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens in 2017 is still the lowest team total in IPL history, and no team has gone below 50 since.

| Lucknow Super Giants | 1 | 82 | Gujarat Titans | 2022 |
No team has won a match after being bowled out for less than 100 in the IPL. Every one of these totals ended in defeat, which shows how hard it is to recover once a batting line up falls apart that badly.

Three former teams never suffered this fate. Pune Warriors, Rising Pune Supergiant and Gujarat Lions were never bowled out for less than 100 in the IPL. Every current team has at least one such total, which shows how even strong batting sides can collapse in this format.
Record History
The early seasons set the pattern. Kolkata Knight Riders were bowled out for 67 against Mumbai Indians in the first IPL season in 2008. Rajasthan Royals then fell for 58 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Cape Town in 2009, a total that stayed as the lowest in the league until 2017. Deccan Chargers fell for 82 in 2010, and Kochi Tuskers Kerala fell for 74 in 2011, in a season that produced several low totals.
The 2013 season was a bad one for Delhi. The Daredevils were bowled out for 83 against Chennai Super Kings at Delhi, and then for 80 against Sunrisers Hyderabad at Hyderabad. Chennai Super Kings themselves fell for 79 against Mumbai Indians in the same season, which remains their lowest total in the league.
The 2017 season produced the most famous collapses of all. Royal Challengers Bengaluru were bowled out for 49 against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on 23 April 2017, while chasing 132. No batter in that innings reached double figures in a way that could save the chase, and Kedar Jadhav top scored with only 8. In the same season, Delhi were bowled out for 67 against Kings XI Punjab at Mohali on 30 April 2017, and then for 66 against Mumbai Indians at Delhi on 6 May 2017. Punjab Kings were bowled out for 73 against Rising Pune Supergiant at Pune on 14 May 2017.
Rajasthan Royals added a second total below 60 in 2023, when they were bowled out for 59 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Jaipur on 14 May 2023. Gujarat Titans joined the list in 2024, when they were bowled out for 89 against Delhi Capitals at Ahmedabad. Kolkata Knight Riders added a third below 100 total in 2025, when they were bowled out for 95 against Punjab Kings at Mullanpur on 15 April 2025, while chasing only 112. Punjab Kings went on to win that match by 16 runs, defending the lowest total ever defended in IPL history.
IPL 2026 added two more totals to the list. Delhi Capitals were bowled out for 75 against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Delhi on 27 April 2026, after falling to 13 for 6 in the powerplay. That was the 11th time Delhi had been bowled out for less than 100 in the IPL, the most by any team. Sunrisers Hyderabad were then bowled out for 86 against Gujarat Titans at Ahmedabad on 12 May 2026, which became their lowest total in the league, below their previous low of 96 against Mumbai Indians in 2019.
What This Record Tells Us
A below 100 total usually starts in the powerplay. Early wickets put pressure on the middle order, and in T20 cricket there is little time to rebuild. Delhi’s record shows that a weak phase can last across seasons, not just across matches. Their collapses came against different opponents and in different conditions, which points to batting depth and decision making under pressure rather than one bad pitch.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru show the other side of the same record. They hold the lowest total ever, yet they have also bowled teams out for less than 100 more times than most sides. Their 49 all out in 2017 came in a season when their batting line up included big names, which is a reminder that reputation does not protect a team on a bad day. Rajasthan Royals show a similar pattern in a smaller sample. Both of their totals below 60 came against the same opponent, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, which shows how a strong bowling attack can repeat its success against a side that struggles against it.
The list also shows how rare a recovery is. Once a team is bowled out for less than 100, the match is effectively over. The bowling side has already done the hard work, and the chase is usually small. For fans, these games are a reminder that T20 cricket can swing very fast, and that a batting collapse can happen to any team, even a champion side.
For the other end of the scale, the highest team totals in IPL history and the highest team totals in IPL playoffs show how far batting sides can go on a good day. The teams with most finals appearances also show that a bad day with the bat does not stop a strong side from reaching finals over time. Official match records are listed on the official IPL site.
