The table-toppers of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, Gujarat Titans (GT), will turn up in lavender jerseys in their next fixture against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Ahmedabad on May 22 (Thursday) to support the fight against cancer.
“As athletes, we recognize the platform we have to influence change. Wearing these lavender jerseys is our way of showing solidarity with cancer warriors and honouring their resilience,” said Gujarat Titans captain Shubman Gill.
“We believe that through awareness and education, we can empower individuals to take charge of their health and contribute to a future where cancer is no longer a formidable foe.”
Meanwhile, GT COO Colonel Arvinder Singh added: "This is the third consecutive year Gujarat Titans are batting for the cause of cancer awareness. We’re glad to have our fans by our side who have shown consistent support in echoing the message for early diagnosis and pre-emptive care for cancer.
“On 22nd May, Ahmedabad will echo the message of solidarity from thousands of spectators in the fight against cancer, as we aim to bring about awareness that cancer, in any form, can be fought and defeated with proper care.”
The Titans have won nine of their 12 games in the IPL 2025 and have already qualified for the playoffs. On May 18 (Sunday), they chased down a target of 200 against Delhi Capitals (DC) without losing a single wicket.
