Know reason why Rajasthan players will be donning pink jersey in today's clash against RCB

Rajasthan Royals (RR) are set to support the women-led transformation in Rajasthan by powering six houses with solar power on every six hit by the batters during the match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 6. The team will wear an all-pink jersey throughout the match to show their support towards women. The Royal Rajasthan Foundation (RRF)  was established in 2019 with the vision of 'Aurat Hai Toh Bharat Hai' which is meant to empower women throughout the state of Rajasthan with equitable access to water, livelihoods, clean energy and mental health.  

"With the vision of 'Aurat Hai Toh Bharat Hai', the Foundation has positively impacted the lives of more than 15 million women in Rajasthan over the last five years, and our ambition is to create a rural transformation model which can be replicated and scaled up in not just other parts of Rajasthan, but also across the country. We are incredibly motivated by the awareness this match can provide and the funds that will be raised for this important project," said Jake Lush McCrum, RR's CEO.

On April 6, every six will count. It’s our #PinkPromise! 💗💪

This will be interesting as RR is unbeaten in the tournament while RCB has lost two home games. With Riyan Parag striking the ball all around the ground, Virat Kohli is in form as well. Hence, it will be a treat for the audience as well. Moreover, RR's performance has been amazing this year and they will be hoping to continue their momentum throughout the year.

Riyan Parag's Rise in IPL 2024

'Comebacks are better than setbacks'. This phrase sits well with Riyan Parag's situation these days. After having several bad IPL seasons, he has finally gained everyone's attention with three back-to-back half-centuries. Currently, Riyan is also the Orange Cap holder of IPL 2024. He looks like a different person altogether when he hits the ball out of the park. 

Riyan has helped RR win matches which were way beyond their reach. His comeback and the way he has been replying to the criticism tell a different story about him. Moreover, he has great scores in domestic matches and if he performs well in all the matches of the IPL, he might get a chance in the World Cup squad as well.
