GT vs SRH: Why are Gujarat Titans players sporting special lavender jersey against Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026?

Gujarat Titans are sporting a special lavender jersey against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match on Tuesday. Just like Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) green jersey (in support for greener ecosystem), Gujarat Titans honour the cancer victims by wearing the lavender jersey in one of their IPL games every season at home.

Though this initiative, Gujarat Titans stand in solidarity with every fighter, survivor and family impacted by cancer and also aim to spread awareness about the importance of early detection and access to quality care. Having started the initiative in 2023, this will be the fourth consecutive year the Shubman Gill-led side are wearing the special colour.

"We go lavender again. The global colour symbolising the collective fight against cancer. Let's united in support of the fight against cancer," read a Gujarat Titans creative on social media.

Gujarat Titans: Shubman Gill(c), Sai Sudharsan, Jos Buttler(w), Washington Sundar, Jason Holder, Nishant Sindhu, Rahul Tewatia, Rashid Khan, Arshad Khan, Kagiso Rabada, Mohammed Siraj
