The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 has been an unpredictable tournament so far as on one hand a team is finding it difficult to win a game and on the other hand, some teams are on a roll with consecutive wins raising hopes of a playoff finish. However, the tournament is also very interesting when it comes to the players who play in it.

There have always been players who are related to one another in some form or another. There have often been occasions when brothers who have played against each other in the IPL with examples of Irfan and Yusuf Pathan, Brendon and Nathan McCullum, David And Mike Hussey being the prominent ones.
