The technology has played a significant role in bringing users closer to a real-like virtual space where they can interact, connect, and work effortlessly. Seeing this exciting popularity, the newly-inducted IPL team ‘Gujarat Titans’ has launched its official team logo in the Metaverse on Spatial.io making it the first-ever sports team in India to venture into the virtual Metaverse world.

For the unversed, IPL or the Indian Premier League is a popular cricket tournament wherein multiple teams compete with each other in the game of cricket to earn the winning title, the exquisite trophy, and the lucrative prizes. The players are chosen by the teams through a Mega auction event wherein the team owners play bids for selecting a player of their choice. Each team comprises some of the biggest cricket players from India as well as from across the world. Interestingly, the forthcoming 15th edition of IPL in 2022 will witness the entry of two new teams including Gujarat Titans (GT) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
The much-talked-about logo was launched by the head coach of the team Ashish Nehra, captain Hardik Pandya, and batsman Shubham Gill.

The newly-launched ecosystem works as a powerful network of 3D virtual spaces aiming to provide high-end social interactions and connections between people. The team believes in the ‘we stop at nothing’ mantra and the logo vividly portrays it.
