What's the story
Rajasthan Royals (RR) have unveiled an all-pink jersey to celebrate International Women's Day.
The special kit will be worn during their 'Pink Promise' match against Mumbai Indians (MI), which will take place on May 1 in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season.
The initiative is led by the Royal Rajasthan Foundation, the CSR arm of Rajasthan Royals.
Here's more.
Film launch
Campaign film 'Aurat Hai Toh Bharat Hai' launched
The Royal Rajasthan Foundation has launched a campaign film, titled 'Aurat Hai Toh Bharat Hai,' to promote women-led initiatives.
As a part of their social responsibility, the Royals will contribute ₹100 for every ticket purchased for the RR vs MI match toward women-led rural transformation in Rajasthan.
This shows their commitment to women-led initiatives and making a positive change in society.
Fund allocation
Proceeds from jersey sales to support social impact initiatives
All proceeds from the sale of the special all-pink Royals's jersey will go directly to the Royal Rajasthan Foundation to support its social impact initiatives.
Furthermore, for every six hit in the match by either team, Rajasthan Royals and RRF will commit to lighting up six homes in the Sambhar region with solar power.
This initiative further demonstrates their commitment toward promoting sustainable energy solutions.
