It’s Monday, but forget the blues, because the sky just got a little pinker. Yes, you read that right. Rajasthan Royals, the IPL team in pink, is keeping its “Pinky Promise” and it’s lighting up lives, one six at a time.
As part of their social campaign, Pink Promise, the Rajasthan Royals have pledged to install solar panels in six homes for every six their players hit during their match against the Mumbai Indians. The initiative aims to support underprivileged communities with clean and sustainable energy.
The match, held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on May 1, 2025, was not just about cricket. It was about impact. With 12 sixes hit during the game, a total of 72 homes in Rajasthan’s Sambhar region will now be powered by solar energy thanks to the Royals’ promise.
The team shared the announcement through their official X account, calling it their “Pink Promise Game.” The post received praise, with fans applauding the team’s effort to combine cricket with a cause that matters.
This is part of the Royals under their Royal Rajasthan Foundation, which focuses on women-led transformation and sustainable development in the state.
Performance-wise, the Rajasthan Royals have had a tough season, with only three wins out of ten matches. They currently stand eighth on the points table. With just four matches left, every game is crucial to keep their playoff hopes alive.
On the other hand, Mumbai Indians came into the match in strong form, riding a wave of consecutive wins. But beyond the scoreboard, the Rajasthan Royals may have already won in spirit by turning every six into solar-powered hope.
So yes, Monday came with a message: when cricket meets compassion, everybody wins.
