T20 is the shortest yet most popular format. It is pretty uncertain and you cannot predict anything about the results. Sometimes, a team can score a massive 200 while in other circumstances they could barely make it to a 50. 

IPL is played in the same format. And to the dismay of fans, there have been times when their favorite teams failed to reach even a 100. Before moving on check out our online IPL satta rates.

Below, we’ve documented a list of the lowest team totals in IPL history.
