The 2008 IPL season saw one of the most dramatic collapses for the Kolkata Knight Riders against the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium. KKR, led by Sourav Ganguly, faced a formidable MI bowling attack. Shaun Pollock and Dwayne Bravo were instrumental in dismantling KKR's batting lineup, with Pollock taking 3 wickets for just 12 runs. The team was bowled out for a mere 67 runs in 15.2 overs, marking their lowest total in IPL history.
In the 2020 season, KKR faced Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi, where they managed to score only 84 runs for the loss of 8 wickets in their allotted 20 overs. Mohammed Siraj was the star for RCB, delivering a sensational spell of swing bowling, taking 3 wickets for just 8 runs.
During the 2009 IPL season, KKR faced another collapse against Mumbai Indians, this time in Gqeberha. The team was bundled out for 95 runs in 15.2 overs. Lasith Malinga and Harbhajan Singh were the chief architects of KKR's downfall.
In Cape Town, KKR's batting lineup faltered against the Deccan Chargers, managing only 101 runs. The Chargers' bowlers, led by RP Singh and Pragyan Ojha, exploited the conditions perfectly.
Facing Lucknow Super Giants in Pune during the 2022 season, KKR once again found themselves in trouble, scoring just 101 runs.
