Why Rajasthan Royals Players Are Wearing Pink Jersey Against GT?

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is one of the most-watched leagues across the country, and there is no better way to give a social message through this league, reaching to a huge number of fans. The inaugural winners, the Rajasthan Royals, have once again come up with an initiative for women's empowerment in this edition of the IPL.

The Rajasthan Royals are locking horns with the Gujarat Titans at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, where the Rajasthan Royals pink jersey will be spotted. This may raise a question among fans about why RR players are wearing pink jerseys today instead of regular jerseys.

What is the Rajasthan Royals Pink Promise Match?

The Rajasthan Royals pink promise jersey is worn in the third edition, which shows the active social involvement by the Royals, along with playing cricket in the biggest cricket league in the world. The Pink Promise Match focuses on helping empower women and provide solar power to villages that lack proper electricity, through the Royal Rajasthan Foundation.

The main motto behind the campaign by RR is “Aurat Hai Toh Bharat Hai.” The management is using the stage of IPL to spread awareness and promote long-term social impact. It highlights the belief that true development begins when women at the grassroots level are supported and given opportunities. This jersey symbolises clean energy and improved access to electricity for communities across Rajasthan.

The Pink Promise Jersey was created by a 19-year-old girl named Samiksha Rameshwar Mundada, whose design was chosen from 8000+ entries. She designed lines radiating outwards with the names of women beneficiaries on them. She is a Marwadi, and her roots also belong here, which allowed her to resonate more and design the jersey with more passion.

Rajasthan Royals' Fight for Playoffs

The Rajasthan Royals are fighting for the IPL Playoffs quite well, where they are still left with 4 matches to be played in this edition of the IPL, and are currently in the 4th position.
