World's largest jersey
The cash-rich league IPL has taken a giant leap by creating world’s largest jersey ever and entered Guinness World Record amid the high voltage clash between Gujarat Titans versus Rajasthan Royals in Ahmedabad at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Sunday, May 29.
The tournament displayed the giant jersey during the closing ceremony. Notably, the Narendra Modi Stadium is also the largest cricket stadium in the world, holding the capacity of 132,000. This was announced by former India head coach Ravi Shastri who was doing the commentary. The jersey number is 15 to represent the 15th edition of IPL. It also had the logos of all the 10 teams that participated in the tournament.
The official Twitter handle of IPL later shared a video of the world’s largest jersey launch at the world’s largest cricket stadium. You can watch the video below:
Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) president Saurav Ganguly, secretary Jay Shah, and IPL chairman Brijesh Patel also received the Guinness World Record certificate.
RR vs GT clash
Meanwhile, the match ended up on Gujarat’s side as the best team throughout the league matches and playoffs were meant to win the finals to with their team and captain. They beat the Men in Pink by 7 wickets with Hardik Pandya displaying his bolwing side by bagging the most important wickets.
He had started with taking the big, Jos Buttler‘s wicket, followed by RR skipper Sanju Samson and then the West Indian power hitter Shirmron Hetmyer. While batting, he proved his all-rounding skills and scored a crucial 34 runs off 30 balls.
Rajasthan’s dependency on Jos Buttler alone yet again failed them in the final. With Buttler scoing only 39 runs off 35 balls, Rajasthan was below what they are known for. They just had put a mere 130/9 on the score-board which the Titans have easily chased it with Shubman Gill playing a slow innings with 45 runs off 43 balls.
Moreover, Gujarat had the psycological advantage; playing in their home ground with crowds roaring for Hardik Pandya and men. At last, no one had thought about any other team winning the trophy apart from Chennai or Mumnai. But a new team entered tournament with a debutant captain and brought back the coveting cup.
