IPL History: 7 best comebacks of IPL

#6 Chennai Super Kings - 2012

Bravo smashed a six off the last ball to seal a win at Eden Gardens

Going into the 2012 season, CSK were clear favorites as they had won the title in the previous two seasons. They also added India's primary all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja to their already strong squad. Henceforth, CSK's playoff spot was seen as a certainty by all the teams.

But to the surprise of everyone, CSK was inconsistent at the start of the tournament. They were beaten comprehensively in few matches and they even lost a few from winning positions. CSK won a few thanks to some brilliant performances from Jadeja and Faf du Plessis.

At the end of 12 games, CSK had won only five and their qualification was in jeopardy as they were scheduled to face off the teams that were occupying the top four spots. But CSK showed enormous resurgence as they beat in-form teams to sneak into the playoffs. Chennai transformed from a struggling team to the favorites as they smashed Mumbai and Delhi to qualify for their fourth final in five years.

KKR was given a challenging target of 191 by Chennai to win their first title. KKR romped home successfully with a stunning 48-ball 89 from Manvinder Bisla.
