IPL 2024 : Gujarat Titans’ Special Jersey vs KKR Revealed, Know the reason
For their last IPL 2024 home game in the league against Kolkata Knight Riders, the Gujarat Titans will wear lavender jerseys instead of their usual dark blue ones. The Titans did the same thing in 2023 for a game against SRH. Lavender is a colour often used to raise awareness about esophageal cancer, but it’s also used to represent all types of cancer. The players want to show their support for fighting cancer during their final home game on May 13, 2024. They hope this gesture reminds people how important it is to detect cancer early and have good healthcare for better results. GT Captain, Shubman Gill believes it’s important for players to spread awareness and educate the community about such causes. Back in 2015, Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) also wore lavender jerseys for the same reason. This idea came from Yuvraj Singh, who survived cancer and started the YouWeCan Foundation, which helps fight cancer in India. “The Gujarat Titans are taking a stand against cancer, stepping onto the field donning special lavender jerseys for the second year in a row,” ran a statement from the franchise. “This gesture will serve as a reminder of the importance of early detection and access to quality care for improving outcomes in patients of cancer.” The Gujarat Titans, who were the champions in IPL 2022 and runners-up in IPL 2023, have already played 11 of their 14 league matches in the IPL 2024 season. They will play the Chennai Super Kings on May 10th, 2024 and the Kolkata Knight Riders on May 13, 2024 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Then, they’ll play against Sunrisers Hyderabad on May 16 in Uppal. Although the Gujarat Titans are at the bottom of the IPL 2024 points table with eight points from 11 games, they still have a small chance of making it to the playoffs, unlike Mumbai Indians, who are in ninth place.
