Be it the Pandya brothers in Mumbai Indians (MI) or the Pathan brothers who have played against each other, it is always interesting to see two family members take part in a match. Here is a list of brothers in cricket who have played in IPL.
"Gujarat Lions (GL) are completely focussing on our remaining matches in IPL 2017," said Irfan Pathan in an exclusive interview with ANI.
Gujarat Lions posted a modest score versus Mumbai Indians and managed to tie the game before losing out in the Super over.
League stage toppers in their debut season last year, Gujarat Lions found their team balance go wrong after injury pull-out to West Indies all-rounder Dwyane Bravo.
It was earlier believed that Greg Chappell was responsible for shortening Irfan Pathan's by making technical changes in his playing style.
Irfan Pathan entered the IPL 2017 auction at a base price of INR 50 lakhs, but he was one of the players who were unexpectedly not selected.
The faltering Gujarat Lions (GL) have bolstered their squad in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2017 with the inclusion of two Indian cricketers in Irfan Pathan and Ankit Soni.
Pathan comes in as the replacement for the injured Dwayne Bravo, who had to bow out of the IPL 2017 without playing a single game due to a hamstring injury.
Irfan Pathan, along with his half-brother Yusuf Pathan, opened their first academy in 2014, in various cities in Gujarat.
The core team at the academy which includes Irfan Pathan, Yusuf Pathan, Greg Chappell and Cameron Tradell will now be backed by the state of the art PV Cricket coaching technology.
