The Indian Premier League (IPL) has successfully provided the platform to the dozens of players, their capabilities and their skills in front of the world in its over-a-decade-long history. Some of the players who did well in the subsequent editions of the league, while also performing in the domestic circuit simultaneously, have earned national call-ups in the past. Today, this league has grown to prominence so much so, that doing exceedingly well in it alone can earn you a berth in the national side.

It is because of the IPL that India got its spin-twins in <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/chris-gayle-trolls-yuzvendra-chahal-for-posting-his-workout-video-on-social-media/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Yuzvendra Chahal</a> and Kuldeep Yadav. There have been many players who, like this duo, were picked by their respective countries for international encounters because of their domestic form and good IPL performances. Some of them replicated their performances from the IPL at the highest level, while some failed to do so.

Here, we take a look at the 5 players who failed at the International level despite doing well in the IPL:

The Barbados boy has been an important part of the cash-rich league over the last few seasons. He can be an asset for any given team, or that is what his IPL performances suggest. Windies, on the back of Smith&#8217;s illustrious numbers in the biggest T20 league in the world, decided to show more of him at the international level, but to everyone&#8217;s disappointment, the 35-year-old always looked out of sorts.

His numbers at the highest level, as compared to the IPL, are extremely poor. In the 91 IPL matches he has played, Smith has amassed almost 2400 runs at an average of over 28 and a brilliant strike-rate of over 135. He also has as many as 17 fifties to his name. But after donning the Windies jersey, he has been quite a disappointment for his team with averages of 18.19, 18.57 and 24.62 in T20Is, ODIs and Test matches respectively.

Mohit Sharma first came to international recognition a few years ago, when he bowled the pressure overs of the match meticulously with his variations and change of pace, in the IPL for the Chennai Super Kings. He would be the Kings&#8217; go-to bowler, whenever they needed wickets, or dry down the runs. Mohit&#8217;s ability to bowl that back-of-the-hand slower ball with such control earned him praises from some big names worldwide.

Owing to the skills he showed in the IPL, the 30-year-old was picked in the Indian Team, and played quite a few matches as well. His performances for India weren&#8217;t as good as they were in the IPL. This led to his exclusion from the team. Mohit played 26 ODIs and 8 T20Is for India and bowled at averages of 32.9 and 30.83 in the two formats respectively, which isn&#8217;t all that impressive for a bowler considering his average of 26.6 in the IPL.

However, his best days in the blue jersey were during the 2015 World Cup when he was part of the pace battery which did exceedingly well in the tournament.

The tall South African all-rounder is known for his hitting skills with the bat as well as his ability to chip in with some useful overs and take a wicket or two. He played for quite a few IPL franchises, and one would be dishonest to say he didn&#8217;t do well. His International performances, unlike his IPL ones, weren&#8217;t too impressive, even after getting over 100 matches to feature in.

The 37-year-old, in his 91 IPL matches, scored at an average of over 24 and a crazy strike-rate of almost 142, while also taking 85 wickets at 27.75. His International numbers, on the contrary, are nowhere close to this, as, in his 108 limited-overs matches for South Africa, Albie has an overall batting average of around 22. His bowling hasn&#8217;t been all that good either, as he has taken only 76 wickets at a not-so-good average of around 35.

The attacking Aussie right-hander has played some memorable knocks in the IPL for his current franchise Kolkata Knight Riders in the last few years. The quick starts he has given to the Knights on several occasions have proved to be game-changing.

The world first got a decent glimpse of Lynn, when he took a screamer of a catch to dismiss <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/psl-2019-ab-de-villiers-delighted-to-be-a-part-of-lahore-qalandars/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AB de Villiers</a> and hand his team the victory against Royal Challengers Bangalore a few years ago. Lynn, on the back of his IPL performances, earned himself a national call-up, but unfortunately, he hasn&#8217;t offered anything big at the international level yet.

The 28-year-old has played 28 IPL matches till now, in which he has scored 875 runs at an average of 35 and a strike-rate of 141.13. He has also had some moments of magic in the field, with his catching in particular. At the international level though, Lynn hasn&#8217;t quite fired. In the 22 limited-overs matches he has played for his country, the right-hander only averages around 19 despite having a strike-rate of over 100.

The Pakistani left-arm pacer only played in the first edition of the IPL, back in 2008, but came out as the best bowler in that tournament. He played for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, and it would only be fair to say that the owners spent their money on the right man. Pakistan expected a lot from Tanvir after his heroics in the IPL, but the left-arm pacer with a unique bowling action disappointed his national team on various occasions, before being dropped.

The 33-year-old from Pakistan&#8217;s Punjab, in only 11 matches he played for the Royals, claimed 22 wickets at a phenomenal average of 12.09 and a great economy-rate of 6.46. His bowling strike-rate was a mind-boggling 11.23. His figures of 6-14 are still a record in the IPL.

For Pakistan, Sohail performed well initially but kept losing his shine with time. He represented his country over 100 times but wasn&#8217;t always in the wickets&#8217; column. His overall average of around 32 in limited-overs games at the international level doesn&#8217;t help his cause of not making it to this list, either.

He played for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, and it would only be fair to say that the owners spent their money on the right man. Pakistan expected a lot from Tanvir after his heroics in the IPL, but the left-arm pacer with a unique bowling action disappointed his national team on various occasions, before being dropped.
The 33-year-old from Pakistan&#8217;s Punjab, in only 11 matches he played for the Royals, claimed 22 wickets at a phenomenal average of 12.09 and a great economy-rate of 6.46. His bowling strike-rate was a mind-boggling 11.23. His figures of 6-14 are still a record in the IPL.
For Pakistan, Sohail performed well initially but kept losing his shine with time. He represented his country over 100 times but wasn&#8217;t always in the wickets&#8217; column. His overall average of around 32 in limited-overs games at the international level doesn&#8217;t help his cause of not making it to this list, either.
