The IPL team, Gujarat Titans will be wearing the lavender jersey in their last league match which they will play against Kolkata Knight Riders at their home ground, Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on 13 May.
The IPL 2022 champions are currently going through a lean phase in the ongoing IPL 2024 as they are at the 10th position with just 4 wins in 11 matches and they don’t seem to have any chance of getting into the play-offs.
Talking about the lavender jersey, the team is wearing it for taking a stand against cancer. Skipper Shubman Gill stated, “As sportspersons, we are aware of our social responsibility to our fans and the community at large. Wearing these lavender jerseys unites us with cancer fighters and honours their courage. Together, we hope that our efforts will contribute to a world where the burden of cancer can be overcome through awareness and education.”
Colonel Arvinder Singh, COO of GT stated, “Cancer affects countless lives, and the lavender jerseys are a small gesture on our part to the cause. The jerseys are a symbol of our support to cancer patients and survivors, serving as a reminder about the need for preventive measures and early diagnosis to win the battle against cancer. Together with our fans, we hope to create a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected by cancer.”
Keep up the good work GT!
