Top 5 greatest IPL playoffs batting knocks of all time

4. Manvinder Bisla (KKR vs CSK), IPL 2012 Final

Another unforgettable KKR final performance came two years earlier in the IPL 2012 final against Chennai Super Kings at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. CSK were aiming for a historic third consecutive IPL title and looked in complete control after posting 190/3. Suresh Raina and Michael Hussey played superb innings to put Chennai in a commanding position.

However, KKR wicketkeeper-batter Manvinder Bisla stunned everyone with a fearless counterattack. Opening the innings, Bisla took on the CSK bowlers with incredible confidence and aggression. He smashed 89 runs off just 48 balls, hitting eight fours and five sixes. His attacking approach ensured KKR stayed ahead in the chase despite the mounting pressure of a final. Alongside Jacques Kallis, Bisla built the foundation for a memorable victory that helped Kolkata lift their maiden IPL trophy.
