In a heartfelt gesture to support cancer awareness, the Gujarat Titans have announced that they will be donning lavender jerseys for their final IPL 2024 home match in Ahmedabad. Scheduled to play against the Kolkata Knight Riders on May 13, the Titans aim to use this platform to express solidarity with cancer patients and advocate for early detection and quality care.
This marks the second consecutive year that the Titans have opted for the lavender jerseys, highlighting their commitment to raising awareness about cancer-related issues. The franchise stated that its decision is intended to serve as a reminder of the significance of early detection and the importance of accessible, high-quality care for cancer patients.
In a statement released by the Gujarat-based franchise, they expressed their belief that this initiative would not only raise awareness but also educate fans about cancer prevention. They emphasized the need for lifestyle adjustments and regular screenings for early detection, underscoring their commitment to making a positive impact beyond the cricket field.
During the IPL 2023 edition, the Titans first introduced the special lavender jerseys during their match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
