During the IPL 2025 match between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders in Guwahati, Rajasthan Royals experienced a collapse in the middle order, resulting in a total of 151/9 in 20 overs. Despite scoring 54 runs in the PowerPlay, the team struggled to find support for Dhruv Jurel, who top-scored with 33 runs from 25 deliveries. This total was the lowest posted by any team in the current season.
Varun Chakaravarthy was the star with the ball for KKR, taking two wickets and conceding just 17 runs. The lowest total successfully defended by Rajasthan Royals in the past was 144 runs, achieved against KKR in the 2013 season at Jaipur, as well as against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 2022 season.
If Rajasthan Royals manage to defend the target of 151 runs in this match, it will mark the fourth-lowest total successfully defended in the franchise’s history. Some of the other low totals defended by Rajasthan Royals include 144/6 against KKR in Jaipur in 2013, 144/8 against RCB in Pune in 2022, 145/7 against MI in Durban in 2009, 153/5 against DD in Jaipur in 2018, and 158/5 against KXIP in Jaipur in 2018.
