IPL History: 7 best comebacks of IPL

#2 Chennai Super Kings - 2010

Dhoni's Innings helped Chennai win a crucial encounter

Chennai started off the season with a huge loss over Deccan Chargers. Although they won the next match against Kolkata, their captain MS Dhoni was injured and missed out few games. The team slumped to further defeats as they could win only two games at the halfway stage of the season.

Murali Vijay started the turnaround for Chennai as his 39-ball 78 helped them beat Bangalore. He went one step ahead by smashing 127 off just 56 balls against the Rajasthan Royals. He along with Albie Morkel helped them post 246, which was the highest total ever in IPL. Naman Ojha and Watson made a match out of it but Doug Bollinger's spell of 4-0-15-2 and an outstanding boundary line catch got two points for CSK.

In a must-win game against Punjab, Dhoni displayed his extraordinary finishing skills with his 29-ball 54. They defended a below-par target of 143 in the semifinal against Deccan Chargers. They eventually went on to clinch the title as they beat Mumbai Indians in the final. From a team of no hopefuls, they became the champions of the season.
