IPL 2022 kicked off on March 26th when IPL 2021 runners-up Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed defending champions Chennai Super Kings.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In the batter-dominated T20 format, oftentimes a team ends up with a batting collapse which leads to a small total. Here&#39;s where the bowlers have to show up, and sometimes the bowlers succeed in defending this low total, either with assistance from playing conditions or excellent planning.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Here are the top 5 lowest defended totals in IPL history.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<hr \/>\r\n<p><strong>#5. Mumbai Indians (120\/9, IPL 2012)<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2022\/04\/LTD-5-MI.jpg\" style=\"height:494px; width:750px\" \/><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After opting to bat first against Pune Warriors, Mumbai Indians were limited to 120\/9 courtesy of brilliance from Pune fielders and bowlers - inflicting 4 runouts. Bhvuneshwar Kumar &amp; Ashish Nehra picked up 2 wickets each while Ashok Dinda picked up 1 wicket.
