IPL 2022 Auction: Over the last fourteen years, the Indian Premier League has generated numerous sibling stories. We’ve seen brotherhood morph into bitter rivalries when brothers get in each other’s way, from the Pathans to the Morkels to the Husseys.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) released a list of 590 players that will be auctioned off during the IPL 2022 mammoth public sale on February 12 and 13.
