Rajasthan Royals have made a bold declaration ahead of their IPL 2024 encounter against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 6. In what they have dubbed the ‘Pink Promise’ match, the franchise has pledged to provide solar power to six homes every time a player smashes a six during the game.
This innovative initiative not only aims to light up households but also stands as a testament to the Royals’ commitment to women’s empowerment. The team’s decision to don pink kits for this match further underscores their dedication to the cause.
The announcement is part of a broader effort by the Royals to support the empowerment of women, particularly in Rajasthan and across India. Through its social equity arm, the Royal Rajasthan Foundation (RRF), the franchise has been actively involved in initiatives aimed at uplifting women in various spheres of life.
The significance of this match extends beyond the cricketing arena. By dedicating their matchday kits to the cause and featuring the names of RRF’s women beneficiaries, the Royals are sending a powerful message of solidarity and respect.
Currently occupying the second spot on the points table, tied with KKR, the Royals are not just chasing victory on the field but are also championing a noble cause off it. As they gear up for the ‘Pink Promise’ match, the team is poised to make a meaningful impact both on and off the pitch, illuminating homes and empowering women with every six they hit.
