Why do the Royals of Rajasthan wear pink jerseys in the 2025 IPL match against the Mumbai Indians – explained

The Royals of Rajasthan, in their unmissable IPL 2025 match against the Mumbai Indians in Jaipur on Thursday, wear a pink jersey. The Rajasthan Royals led by Riyan Parag bear the new one as part of the day of the “Rose promise”. The RR celebrates various initiatives each year to support the transformation led by women in Rajasthan and the pink jersey was a way to support this. The Royal Royals skipper Riyan Parag won the draw and chose to play against the Mumbai Indians in their IPL match on Thursday. Kumar Kartikeya Singh and Akash Madhwal come to the Royals Rajasthan (RR) playing eleven like Captain Riyan Parag won the draw and elected for the first against an unchanged Indian Mumbai (MI) in the Stade 50 of the Indians (IPL) 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on Thursday.

RR is currently in seventh place on the points table and must win all their remaining matches to have a chance to enter the playoffs. But it is easier to say than to do against Mi, which is on a sequence of five consecutive victories. A victory for Mi Thursday will help them replace the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the top of the point table.

After winning the draw, Parag said that Kartikeya and Madhwal, playing his first match of the current season, were drafted in the eleven players due to Wanindu Hasaanga having a cheerfulness, while Sandeep Sharma is not available for the rest of the competition after having undergone a fracture in his finger, as RR says.

“We could see a dew later. Usually, the counter settles a little later at night. We want to exploit it. We kept it very simple, regardless of victory or loss (during the celebration after Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is the whirlwind of Rahul.

“There are three games, the message was that we take a match at a time. If we play our potential, we know how good we can be. I just want to give everyone the freedom to play their game,” he said.

Mi skipper, Fhelik Pandya, said that he would have first played in a place where they have not won a match since 2012. “It has always been how we can play a good cricket. The conversation has always been on the way we can improve, we talked about the same thing, and nothing changes.”

“We want to be intrepid and not let the fear of failure to hinder. Do not decide how much we have to put, have a defined marker, but we must analyze the counter. Quite confident to strike on this counter. There was not a lot of dew.”

RR will put on a special all-round jersey as part of the match being a “pink promise” game. Under this, 100 rupees of each match ticket and the sale of special jerseys will support the rural transformation led by women in Rajasthan, in particular by clarifying six houses in the Sambhar region with solar energy for six hit by one or the other of the teams in the game.
