It has been quite some time since the 2 new teams were auctioned for the IPL. Lucknow and Ahmedabad are the 2 franchises that were sold collectively for a mammoth 12,715 crores! Lucknow was bought by the RPSG group and Ahmedabad by CVC partners. Both the franchisees have named their draft picks. KL Rahul, Ravi Bishnoi and Marcus Stoinis are Lucknow Super Giant’s draft picks whereas, Hardik Pandya, Shubhman Gill and Rashid Khan are Ahmedabad’s picks. While Lucknow revealed its name and logo at the end of January, Ahmedabad struggled to find itself a suitable name. But has Ahmedabad’s team name revealed?
Ahmedabad Titans?
Yes, the Ahmedabad franchise has finally picked its name as Ahmedabad Titans according to reports. Ahmedabad has finalized its name but is yet to reveal it officially. Reports also came that the franchise hired an agency to pick its name. The name is not unique by the way. We have seen many teams globally with Titans as their last name. For example – Telugu Titans, The Titans, Tampa Bay Titans and many more. Fans were divided over this as many wanted the franchise to name the team in such a way that it is associated with the city. Let’s wait till the franchise officially announce their name. They have also not revealed their logo yet.
