The 2012 Indian Premier League season, abbreviated as IPL 5 or the IPL 2012 or the DLF IPL 2012 (owing to title sponsorship reasons), was the fifth season of the Indian Premier League, initiated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2007 with the first season played in 2008. The tournament began on 4 April and ended on 27 May 2012. Kolkata Knight Riders were the winning team, beating defending champions Chennai Super Kings by five wickets in the final. This season the number of teams in the league went from ten to nine with the termination of Kochi Tuskers Kerala.
Upon progression, the season was criticized for its decreased television viewership compared to the previous seasons. This edition of the IPL has been the most competitive with 19 matches in which team won in the last over and 6 matches in which team won by a marjin of less than 10 runs. Near the end of the season, the season faced various hurdles including a spot fixing case, which allegedly included 5 players caught on a sting operation carried on by a local news channel.
The top three teams of the tournament (Kolkata Knight Riders, Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Daredevils) will represent India in the 2012 Champions League Twenty20. The Fair Play Award was won by Rajasthan Royals, while Kings XI Punjab batsman Mandeep Singh was named the tournament's "Rising Star" and bowler Kolkata Knight Riders bowler Sunil Narine was Player of the Season.
