This year’s shirt has a story of its own. The design was created by 19-year-old Samiksha Rameshwar Mundada after her entry emerged as the winner out of over 8,500 entries in the HunaRR Manch competition organized by Royals.
The all-pink collection symbolizes empowerment, opportunity and community-led change.The initiative also carries a direct social commitment. For every six houses during the match, six houses in Sambhar, a historic city in Rajasthan, will be electrified using solar energy. The campaign focuses on improving access to sustainable energy while highlighting women-led development projects in the region.This special occasion comes during the high-pressure phase of RR’s IPL campaign. After a dominant start to the season, the Royals have struggled for consistency and now face a dangerous Gujarat Titans side who have won three straight matches. With the playoff places narrowing down and another long break looming after this match, Saturday’s match holds great importance for both teams.RR will be hoping that the energy of the Pink Promise match will inspire a turnaround at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, as they are still searching for their first home win in IPL 2026.
