Gujarat Titans will wear a lavender jersey against LSG to increase cancer awareness

Gujarat Titans are set to wear a special lavender jersey in their IPL 2025 clash against Lucknow Super Giants on May 22 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. This initiative is part of the franchise’s effort to raise awareness about cancer prevention and support. Lavender is recognized as a symbol for all types of cancer awareness, and the Titans aim to use their platform to spread a message of hope, strength, and early detection.

The franchise announced the move with the statement, “Strength isn’t just in the game, it’s for standing up for a cause,” emphasizing their commitment to social impact beyond cricket. Fans attending the match and watching from around the world are encouraged to participate by wearing lavender or supporting cancer-related initiatives.

Impact and fan engagement

This marks the third consecutive year that Gujarat Titans have worn a lavender jersey for a match, continuing a tradition started in 2023 when Hardik Pandya led the side.

A growing trend in IPL

Gujarat Titans are not the first IPL team to adopt a special jersey for a cause. Delhi Capitals pioneered the lavender jersey tribute in 2015, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru have also worn a green jersey in past seasons to promote environmental awareness.
