Gujarat Titans celebrated Gujarat Day with a special team dinner on Friday evening, with players, team owners, support staff and management coming together to honour the state’s rich cultural legacy.
To mark the occasion, the franchise presented players with specially crafted Tangaliya shirts, one of the state’s most distinctive handwoven textiles. The players wore the shirts during the evening, showing visible excitement and enthusiasm as they engaged with the craft and expressed appreciation for its heritage.
Tangaliya weaving has a history of over 700 years and originates from the Dangashiya community. It is known for its unique bead-like patterns, often described as “pearls on cloth.” Traditionally worn on special occasions, the craft reflects the spirit, resilience and storytelling traditions of Gujarat, passed down through generations. In recent years, Tangaliya has also gained global recognition.
This initiative reinforces the franchise’s Gujarat-first ethos and reflects its continued focus on celebrating regional identity and strengthening the team’s connection beyond cricket.
