The Indian Premier League (IPL) is among the largest T20 leagues in the globe. Several cricketers have risen to prominence after doing well in the IPL. But a few of them were not able to replicate their success in international cricket. Below are five such players who rose to fame in the IPL but did not do well at the international level.

1. Saurabh Tiwary (India)
Saurabh Tiwary was a left-handed aggressive batsman who played for Mumbai Indians (MI) in IPL 2010. He made 419 runs in that season and was awarded Emerging Player of the Year. A lot of people compared him to MS Dhoni due to his hairstyle and hard-hitting batting.

But, his career outside India proved to be brief. He only played three ODIs for India in 2010 and was not given another chance. His domestic career also slowed down, and he disappeared from the scene.

2. Paul Valthaty (India)
Paul Valthaty was the sensation of IPL 2011 when he was playing for Punjab Kings (PBKS). He played a marvelous 120 off 63 against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), one of the finest innings in the history of IPL. He made 463 runs during that season and impressed everyone.

Unfortunately, his performance declined in the following seasons, and he was out of the IPL soon. He never played for the Indian national team and had a brief cricket career.

3. Manvinder Bisla (India)
Manvinder Bisla was a hero for Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 2012 IPL final. He scored a match-winning 89 runs off 48 balls to lead KKR to their first IPL title. He was admired for his fearless batting.

He could not get into the Indian team despite his success in the IPL. His domestic cricket performance was not up to the mark, and he disappeared from top-level cricket later on.

4. Chris Lynn (Australia)
Chris Lynn was perhaps the most hazardous batsman of the IPL. Representing Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), he earned notoriety due to his mighty six-striking capabilities. His opener association with Sunil Narine proved extremely productive.

But in international cricket, Lynn had a tough time. He played just 4 ODIs and 18 T20Is for Australia but never managed a regular place. Injuries also hampered his career, and he was dropped from the Australian side.

5. Albie Morkel (South Africa)
Albie Morkel was one of the main players for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the initial years of the IPL. He was an all-rounder who was famous for his big-hitting and useful medium-pace bowling. He scored numerous match-winning innings for CSK.

But in international cricket, he did not succeed. He played 58 ODIs and 50 T20Is for South Africa but never became a part of the team regularly. His international career also came to an end without leaving any impact.
