3 Players who did well in IPL but not in international cricket
The Indian Premier League has proven to be a great platform for the upcoming players to showcase their talent and earn a ticket to play for their respective national side. Performing well in the IPL has also became an important aspect for the national selectors to pick them for the country's time apart from their performances in other domestic tournaments.
The Indian team has been lucky to find players like Jasprit Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadava and Yuzvendra Chahal who are majorly furnished by playing in this 20-over tournament only. These players have also continues with their form in international arena as well and not just limiting themselves to this cash-rich event.
But here are three such players who have done well in IPL and failed to capitalize it to their national side in any of the three formats.
#1 Dwayne Smith (West Indies)
The West Inddies all rounder Dwayne Smith has been an asset for every IPL franchise for which he has played for. Smith brings a perfect balance to the team with his hard hitting abilities at the top and bowling some quick medium pace overs in middle of the innings.
His IPL success earned him a ticket in the national side but he couldn't convert the chances. Compared to his IPL career where he has amassed over 2400 runs in 91 matches at a decent average of over 28 with a strike rate of 135+, his T20I numbers don't look similar as he has an average of just a little over 18 in the 33 matches that he has played.
Similar is the case with his One-day Internationals and Test numbers as well with both bat and ball and hence, was dropped from the national side.
