Dubai: IPL in the UAE is clearly a family affair for many of the players, Darren Sammy of the West Indies included.
He posted this incredibly cute picture of his daughter going off on a shopping trip on Instagram, accompanied by the following tweet:
Away she goes. Gotta love my princess http://t.co/4NPtfSHLy7— Darren Sammy (@darrensammy88) April 21, 2014
Meanwhile, despite Glenn Maxwell being the talk of the IPL at the moment after his two barnstorming innings for the dominant Kings XI Punjab, Sunrisers Hyderabad will not be focusing too much on the Australian batsman, according to their official Twitter feed:

While Punjab have enjoyed a great start to the competition so far, the same can't be said for champions the Mumbai Indians. Here are Harbajhan Singh and Anil Kumble in deep conversation about how to turn it around:

And as Harbajhan taking advice off one India legend, Dishant Yagnik of the Rajasthan Royals was in conversation with another on the team bus:

Mohandas Menon is well worth a follow. The statistician came up with the following gem on Tuesday:

This wouldn't be IPL on Twitter without an update on Preity Zinta's whereabouts. The Kings XI Punjab owner has been having a chat with Virender Sehwag :
