GT vs SRH IPL 2026: The Gujarat Titans are wearing their lavender jersey for the IPL 2026 match against the Sunrisers Hyderabad. In honor of cancer patients, the Gujarat franchise mirrors Royal Challengers Bengaluru's green kit, wearing a lavender jersey at home each year.

Through this initiative, the Shubman Gill-led team demonstrates solidarity with cancer patients and families, raising awareness for early detection and accessible treatment. This marks the fourth consecutive year Gujarat has worn the jersey, starting in 2023. "We go lavender again. The global color represents the unified fight against cancer. Let's unite to support this cause," GT stated.

SRH captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bowl first. While Hyderabad is third in the points table and the hosts are second, both teams have 14 points from 11 matches each.
