IPL Highlights, KKR vs RCB: Bangalore Bowled Out For Lowest Ever Score, Kolkata Win By 82 Runs

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) had a nightmare outing against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens after being bowled out for a paltry 49 in 9.4 overs -- the lowest ever score in the Indian Premier League (IPL). No RCB batsmen could even get to double digits as Kedar Jadhav recorded a high score of 9. Three KKR bowlers took three wickets apiece -- Nathan Coulter-Nile, Chris Woakes and Colin de Grandhomme. Umesh Yadav chipped in with one wicket as RCB suffered a humiliating 82-run loss for their fifth defeat in seven matches. Meanwhile, KKR recorded their fifth win in seven matches to remain second in the standings with 10 points. (Scorecard)

23:45 IST: That's it from us here! Thank you for joining us for this IPL encounter. Do join us tomorrow for the match between Mumbai Indians and Rising Pune Supergiant at the Wankhede. 

23:42 IST: "Probably our worst batting performance, the worst I have been part of the team. Very hurtful for me to stand here and talk. I thought we could capitalize and cash in during the chase. I can't say anything now, but our performance was unacceptable. Disgraceful batting, reckless from us, one of the worst collapses ever," said an upset Virat Kohli.

19:27 IST: Hello! Welcome to the live blog of the Kolkata Knight Riders-Royal Challengers Bangalore IPL match! 

Gambhir can't possibly be in a very happy frame of mind after losing to bottom-ranked Gujarat Lions, while Kohli and his side should be feeling much better after the massive win over the same side. Some of the relief would be in the form of Chris Gayle finally coming good, but with just two wins out of six matches, it is still quite a way to go between now and real-time attempts at the top-four slots for the knockout games. KKR decidedly have a better bowling attack, but given the flat pitches that have been on display, assuming that just bowling will win games is a fallacy, as KKR discovered against Gujarat.
