How many players from the current Sri Lankan team would make it to an IPL franchise on merit?

I know that the likes of Jayasuriya, Shanaka, Hasaranga, Rajapakse and Gunathilake have impressed with their performances but I'm not sure they are good enough to represent a top IPL side. Thoughts?

The cap of 4 foreigners in playing 11 makes it difficult for good prospects from other countries to get into IPL. SL players are pretty good but they are competing with likes of Warner, AB, Smith etc for same spot due to foreign player restrictions.

I will wait and see how they perform against top sides.

Pakistan are ranked one - so they are a top side. No way can you discount SL performances.

But you can fluke a single series win against anyone, Individual brilliance can only be judged after a sustained period of performance.

I will still wait for them to perform against better sides like India, Eng or Aus.

Considering they just thrashed number 1 ranked team at home, at least 5 of these unorthdox and very talented sri lankan players would walk into any IPL side.

Ok lets look at your so called better side record

Aus vs pak in uae 2018 pakistan 3-0
Pakistan vs aus in trination pak 2-1 with one victory in final for Pakistan
Last 6 matches pakistan 5 won aus 1

Pakistan vs england last 2 encounter pakistan 1 England 1

Pakistan vs nz 2018 t20 series in nz pakistan won the series 2-1

Pakistan vs nz 2018 uae series pakistan won the series 3-0

Pakistan last 6 t20 matches against nz pakistan 5-1

India recent record against decent side in last year or so

Lost t20 series to aus 2-0
Lost t20 series to nz 2-1
Draw t20 series against sa 1-1

Current form of Pakistan t20 side is pathetic and can lose even to bd t20 side but showing so much disrespect to pakistan t20 side is beyond any logic .I know some of you have taken bilateral t20 too series since pakistan have lost but you cannot have both ways .

I refuse to believe that Pak is a better t20 side than a full strength Ind, Aus, Eng or even NZ for that matter. Let's wait for the t20 wc, a rude awakening awaits Pak fans.

Pakistan beat full strength nz not once but twice one at home and one in nz .

Pakistan have declined alot from past 3 month but predicting already about a worldcup which is a year far is not too early ? Well i can put westindies all above so called top team but i won't since there is alot of time before worldcup

Lol established superstars struggle to get into IPL sides but few rookies will walk into IPL teams just cause they bashed a few hapless trundlers and wannabe alrounders.
