3. Chennai Super Kings, 2012
After winning two consecutive titles in the last two seasons Chennai Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led Chennai were clear favorites in the sixth edition of the league. The star-studded pack roped in star India allrounder Ravindra Jadeja to strengthen their already strong squad. Surprisingly Chennai started very inconsistently and looked like a faded team in the tournament. They lost seven out of the first 12 games in the tournament and their qualification was in jeopardy.
However, MS Dhoni-led team made an impressive comeback after beating Mumbai and Kolkata in the last two league games and eventually qualified for their fourth finals in the last five years. They played Kolkata in the finals and failed to capitalize on the momentum in the second innings and Kolkata won their first-ever ITL title.
