Rajasthan Royals will take the field in a standout pink look for their IPL 2026 fixture against Gujarat Titans in Jaipur on Saturday, as the franchise rolls out its Pink Promise initiative. The special jersey is being positioned as part of a wider effort by RR along with the Rajasthan Royals Foundation, aimed at using the power of cricket to support women-led transformation across rural Rajasthan.
Pink Promise jersey and the “six for six” plan
At the toss, the Royals unveiled a match-day activation tied to the theme of the kit. As part of Pink Promise, RR will illuminate six houses for every six hit during their contest against Gujarat Titans.
- Rajasthan Royals’ special pink kit is linked to the Pink Promise initiative.
- RR and the Rajasthan Royals Foundation’s programme focuses on women-led change in rural Rajasthan through cricket.
- In-game incentive: six houses will be lit up for each six struck by RR in the match.
- The jersey’s concept is centred on the message “Aurat hai to Bharat hai”.
The design work for this year’s kit has been credited to 19-year-old Samiksha Rameshwar Mundada, whose concept was said to have won strong appreciation across the Royals’ community.
Toss result: Jaiswal leads RR to bowl
Rajasthan Royals’ stand-in captain Yashasvi Jaiswal won the toss and elected to bowl first against Gujarat Titans in the IPL match in Jaipur on Saturday.
Jaiswal is captaining the side because regular skipper Riyan Parag is unavailable after pulling his hamstring in RR’s previous game.
