Why Rajasthan Royals Wearing 'Pink Jersey' Against RCB In IPL 2024?

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur was awash in a vibrant sea of pink as the Rajasthan Royals took the field against the Royal Challengers Bangalore. But this was no ordinary match - it was the Royals' 'Pink Promise' game, where the team donned special all-pink kits to amplify their support for the empowered women of rural Rajasthan. As the players walked out, the crowd erupted in thunderous applause, celebrating not just the home team, but the larger cause they represented. "This is about more than just cricket," said Sanju Samson, the Royals' captain. "We're here to shine a light on the incredible work being done by women in our state, to inspire others and drive real social change." And shine they did. From the very first ball, the Royals were in complete control, their pink-clad batters batting with authority and precision. Yashasvi Jaiswal set the tone, his elegant 76 off 48 balls laying the foundation for a formidable total of 198/4.
