If the game of cricket is a funfair then IPL is the most captivating roller coaster ride of it. Here all sections of people are tossed around in excitement, as they fling in the air during their ride. From the last five weeks, the league has been giving a rush of adrenaline to the fans with its tight turns and steep slopes, nail-biters. Now it is time for the last hill of the ride, playoffs and the action is surely going to be gravity defying.

Since the inception of the T20s, the pyrotechnics of batsmen have changed, and in IPL the level of batsmanship has always been of a higher order. Over the years the spectators have rejoiced their batting superstars produce some masterclass. Here most of the players from around the world have enjoyed their time with the bat. Overseas batsmen have definitely ruled the roost in IPL, but there are some stars who have not flourished this season.

The following are the five International batsmen who never tasted success in IPL

<a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2019/03/Yuvraj-Singh.jpg"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-327382" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Yuvraj-Singh.jpg" alt="Yuvraj Singh" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-327382" class="wp-caption-text">Yuvraj Singh.

The southpaw from Punjab is the biggest match-winner to have played for the India in this century. Yuvraj Singh has been a white ball hero, as he was the central figure in both of India&#8217;s <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/world-cup-2019-rohit-sharma-says-outside-opinions-dont-matter-for-close-knit-team-india/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>World Cup</strong></a> triumphs (2007 and 2011). In T20I some of the innings played by Yuvraj Singh are inscribed in the history books of Indian cricket. His 6 sixes in an over against Broad is one of the many superlative records created by him.

When IPL started its journey in 2008 the left-hander was one of the icon players. Though Yuvraj lit up the stage with a couple of hat-tricks in the second season, but with the bat, he only played odd blistering knocks. In his 11-year IPL career, Yuvraj has never been an impact player for any of his 6 franchises. The Indian legend has always attracted pots of money in the auction, but he has never been a game changer in this league and it is really surprising.

The current <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/alastair-cook-feels-he-has-moved-on-and-england-cricket-also-should-move-on/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>England</strong></a> ODI skipper is a revolutionary, as he changed the outlook of the three lions team in white ball cricket. He is one of the rare middle-order batsmen who can start hitting the ball out of the park from the word go. Morgan has also served the role of a finisher and in various run chases, he has dragged the team to victory single-handedly. He has a calming influence on the team which has worked wonders in pressure situations.

Eoin Morgan was made for slam-bang cricket, as he has the ability to play innovative shots. The southpaw was picked up in the 2010 auction, but never got going in the tournament as he batted lower down the order. In the following seasons, he was given more prominent roles by the different franchises, but he always looked flat with his attacking skills. In his 6-year IPL career, Morgan plied his trade for 4 teams and he scored only 4 half-centuries which tell a story.

When Angelo Mathews burst into the scene, he was considered as the next big thing from the pearl of the Indian ocean. He is a cricketer with immense potential who can win matches for his team on his own. Mathews is a reliable batsman who can be an aggressor with his hitting skills and can also play the anchor role if the team is in trouble. He is one of the stars of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/world-cup-2019-sri-lanka-squad-fixtures-venue-and-match-timing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Sri Lanka&#8217;s</strong></a> 2014 T20 World Cup winning campaign.

The all-rounder from the island nation started his IPL career with a bang, as he won the MOM in only his second game. Mathews was looked as a match-winner with bat and ball by most of the franchises. He had the power game which prompted the teams to give him the role of a finisher, but apart from a couple of heroics Mathews always failed to deliver on his promise. The former Lankan skipper played 6 seasons of IPL in which he represented 3 teams, but his performances were always below par.

Marlon Samuels is a tough nut to crack, as he stands up when his team needs him the most. Unlike the other Caribbean players, the Jamaican cricketer has a different style of batting, and he has the technique to survive on tough surfaces. Samuels contribution to the Windies cricket is always held in high regard, and his T20I record speaks for himself. His two T20 World Cup final knocks are part of cricket folklore.

Samuels didn&#8217;t attract any buyer in the initial years of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/ipl-2019-under-performers-xi-of-the-tournament-so-far/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>IPL</strong></a>, as a lot of uncertainties were surrounding him due to his brief ban from international cricket. Eventually, he became part of the IPL bandwagon in 2012, but he generated some miserable numbers in that season. The all-rounder was always given opportunities at top of the order, but he never played a substantial inning. In his 3-year IPL career, Samuels was part of 2 teams, but he was not able to establish as a proven match-winner in his stay.

The cricketer from Sri Lanka is one of the most iconic players to have played the gentleman&#8217;s game. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kumar-sangakkara-is-one-of-the-finest-batsmen-ive-played-against-shoaib-akhtar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Sangakkara</strong></a> has led the island nation to various glories with his batting prowess. The southpaw was a class apart, as he can easily adapt to any situation, and over the years he was one of the batting mainstays of his side. He was a big match player, and his knock in the 2014 T20 World Cup proves it.

In the first IPL auction, Kumar Sangakkara was among the elite overseas players. He brought a wealth of experience, and that was the reason why he was given the mantle of leading the batting department. The Lankan legend also captained his franchises, but he had a dismal record, unlike his international tourney. Kumar played for 2 teams in his 6-year IPL career, but he was never able to stamp his authority on a single season which is quite strange for a player of his stature.

In the Indian Premier league, various batsmen have entertained their fans with awe-inspiring batting displays. For an international player, the league is a perfect platform to raise their game but some batsmen have faltered under pressure and have not tasted any sort of success.

<p>The cricketer from Sri Lanka is one of the most iconic players to have played the gentleman&#8217;s game. <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/kumar-sangakkara-is-one-of-the-finest-batsmen-ive-played-against-shoaib-akhtar/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Sangakkara</strong></a> has led the island nation to various glories with his batting prowess. The southpaw was a class apart, as he can easily adapt to any situation, and over the years he was one of the batting mainstays of his side. He was a big match player, and his knock in the 2014 T20 World Cup proves it.</p>
<p>In the first IPL auction, Kumar Sangakkara was among the elite overseas players. He brought a wealth of experience, and that was the reason why he was given the mantle of leading the batting department. The Lankan legend also captained his franchises, but he had a dismal record, unlike his international tourney. Kumar played for 2 teams in his 6-year IPL career, but he was never able to stamp his authority on a single season which is quite strange for a player of his stature.</p>
<p>In the Indian Premier league, various batsmen have entertained their fans with awe-inspiring batting displays. For an international player, the league is a perfect platform to raise their game but some batsmen have faltered under pressure and have not tasted any sort of success.</p>
