Explained: Why Gujarat Titans are wearing lavender jersey in GT vs SRH IPL 2026 match at Ahmedabad

Why do GT wear lavender jersey in IPL?

Gujarat Titans will wear lavender to promote cancer awareness — a tradition they’ve now carried into its third straight season. The franchise is turning its home ground into a symbol of solidarity, with 30,000 lavender flags and 10,000 lavender jerseys set to be handed out to fans in the stands.

From encouraging health screenings to spotlighting early detection, GT’s initiative makes Tuesday's clash more than a game — it’s a call to action wrapped in lavender.

Speaking about the noble initiative, GT's COO, Colonel Arvinder Singh, said last year, "This is the third consecutive year Gujarat Titans are batting for the cause of cancer awareness. We are 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."
