Gujarat Titans became the first Indian Premier League (IPL) team to use the metaverse to reveal their logo ahead of the 2022 season. On Sunday, February 20, head coach Ashish Nehra, captain Hardik Pandya, and opener Shubman Gill were virtually present in the metaverse (a virtual-reality space where users can interact with a computer-generated environment) to unveil the logo.
Gujarat Titans have unveiled a simple but eye-catching logo for IPL 2022, days after another new franchise Lucknow Super Giants unveiled their logo. The Titans logo is a triangular design on a dark blue background with the words “Gujarat” and “Titans” displayed in 3D.
“Our DNA is about reaching the top and always moving upwards. There is Gujarat’s kite which is not just our passion but it is larger than life. Our motto is to share energy and unlimited power. We stop at nothing,” captain Hardik, in the metaverse, said before the launch of the logo.
One of the two new teams to be added to the IPL this season, Gujarat Titans will be led by India all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Apart from skipper Hardik, the franchise has purchased eight more all-rounders, including Rahul Tewatia, for a whopping Rs 9 crore.
