The Battle of Royals: Rajasthan vs Bangalore
In what promises to be an electrifying encounter, the Rajasthan Royals will lock horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore at the iconic Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. The Rajasthan Royals have been riding high on their unbeaten streak so far in the tournament, boasting a flawless record of three wins in three matches. Their confidence is soaring, particularly with their impeccable track record at home this season.
On the flip side, the Royal Challengers Bangalore have had a rather turbulent start to their campaign, securing just one win out of four matches. With a dire need to turn the tide, they’ll be looking to regroup and stage a comeback against their familiar foes, the Rajasthan Royals.
#PinkPromise: Empowering Women in Rural Rajasthan
Adding a poignant touch to the proceedings, the Rajasthan Royals will don special all-pink matchday kits as part of their #PinkPromise initiative. This initiative aims to amplify support for the empowered women from rural Rajasthan who are spearheading significant societal transformations. For every ticket purchased for this match, the Royals will donate ₹100 towards women-led rural transformation in Rajasthan. Additionally, proceeds from the sale of the all-pink jerseys will contribute to the Royal Rajasthan Foundation, the team’s social equity arm. Furthermore, every six hit during the match will light up six homes in the Sambhar region with solar power, a testament to the team’s commitment to sustainable development.
