A look at social media as Australian players gather in India for the 10th edition of the IPL
Social round-up: Aussies head to IPL
The Australian summer is over and the international 'year' has wound down, but some of Australia's biggest names have six weeks of cricket ahead of them in the Indian Premier League.
While most members of Australia's Test squad have simply headed south from Dharamsala to join their respective franchises, others have flown in from Australia this past week ahead of the opening match on Wednesday night.
Here's what some of the 21 Australians involved have been up to ahead of the start of the tournament.
