Expressing his thoughts on the initiative, Gujarat Titans COO Colonel Arvinder said: "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. On May 22, 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."
Team captain Shubman Gill also shared his perspective, saying, "As athletes, we recognise the platform we have to influence change. Wearing these lavender jerseys is our way of showing solidarity with cancer warriors and honouring their resilience. 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."
A video shared on the team's official X handle featured the players donning the new lavender kit set to debuted this season against LSG.
The message is clear; cancer awareness and awareness. "We don the lavender threads to show support for the fight against all types of cancer." The club also mentions that the game against LSG is more than a match, and is a tribute to every fighter and survivor.
