This season has truly embodied the beauty and unpredictability of football, as multiple comeback victories have had a huge say in the trajectory taken by certain sides so far.

Here's a look at the major storylines in this aspect of the competition.

Comeback Leaders
Mohun Bagan Super Giant have emerged as the standout performers in terms of comebacks, gaining a league-high 10 points from losing positions. Their ability to turn the tide of matches has been remarkable, and another comeback win would mark their best-ever tally in a single season.

Jamshedpur FC, on the other hand, have also been prolific, accumulating nine points from losing positions, their highest in a single season. Their three comeback wins are the most they have ever achieved in an ISL campaign, pushing them to the fourth spot after 13 matches. Chennaiyin FC and Kerala Blasters FC have also proven to be relentless in adversity, each gaining seven points from losing positions. For Chennaiyin FC, this is a familiar story, as they had a similar feat last season when they gained 10 points, demonstrating their indomitable knack under Owen Coyle. Kerala Blasters FC's performances, too, display their fighting spirit, with two key comeback wins adding to their tally amid a challenging season altogether.
