Gujrat Titans came to the ‘Twitter’ world and got a positive response from fans all around the world. Surprisingly the account was made in December and was unknown to the fans and game viewers and after the name announcement the official accounts game forward with just 700 followers. Within a few hours, the family of hundreds was converted into a family of 26k plus followers.
The first tweet by the official account was the team’s name announcement and a text which phrased ‘Shubh Aarambh’which means a positive beginning. Almost all the remaining franchises welcomed Gujarat Titans to the Twitter world in their funny way.
