Top 5 West Indians who fired in IPL and failed for West Indies

Top 5 West Indians who fired in IPL and failed for West Indies: In the Indian Premier League (IPL), the West Indian players have always formed the core of entertainment. Apart from that, in this particular edition of IPL, we have seen a number of West Indians who proved out to be the trump cards for their respective franchise. But it has been a strange fact that the level of consistency and destruction we see from the West Indies players in the Indian T20 League simply flicker’s away when they play for their national side.

Also, the West Indies Cricket Board did not consider some of the players for the squad off late while they are a priceless part of their respective IPL teams at the moment.

Here is a list of Top 5 West Indians who fired in IPL and failed for West Indies.

1. Chris Gayle:

Leaving behind the double century which he scored against Zimbabwe, the Jamaican giant did not have a good enough World Cup. He was axed from the West Indies test squad. But he has been a pivotal batsman for RCB in this season and played a number of brilliant innings. In this season, he has scored 357 runs in 8 matches with an average of 51.00. Also, he possesses a destructive strike rate of 160.08. In his last match for Bangalore, he became the fastest player to reach to 3000 runs in IPL which reflects his level of consistency in this format. But somewhere down the line, it is to be admitted that he hasn’t fired much for his national squad against what he has done in IPL.
