IPL Season 5 faced challenges with declining viewership and advertisers withdrawing due to a tough year for Indian cricket. The opening ceremony lacked excitement and the teams are struggling to build fan bases as player rosters change frequently. While some matches were enjoyable to watch, the quality of cricket overall is a concern. IPL's future depends on improving the spectacle and passion surrounding the matches.
