Not only did Gujarat Titans fans outnumber their Rajasthan Royals counterparts in the IPL-15 final on Sunday, their quirky slogans took the cake too.  Basing one on their tag line ‘Aava de’, this one sounded quite peppy when the fans sang in unison: “Jalebi fafda khava de, IPL trophy aava de.” The GT supporters had a blast inside the stadium.

Fireworks for every six

To add to the glitzy IPL final show, every time a six was hit, it was celebrated with fireworks. Even at the fall of a wicket, the fireworks would go up, making it a spectacle to remember for the 1.25 lakh fans present at the gigantic stadium here. A boundary was celebrated with smoke guns. The BCCI created what was being called the largest-ever jersey—66x42 metres—occupying nearly half of the ground.  All this was done to celebrate 15 years of IPL.
