Rajasthan Royals (RR) will be wearing a special all-pink kit for its IPL 2025 match against Rajasthan Royals at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday.

Moreover, all proceeds from the sale of each all-pink Royals' jerseys will go to its social equity arm - the Royal Rajasthan Foundation (RRF).
In addition, for every six hit in the match by both teams, Rajasthan Royals and the RRF will light up six homes in the Sambhar region with solar power.
This is the second season where is RR wearing this jersey, with its first match in pink jersey played against Royal Challengers Bengaluru on April 6, 2024.
'We are proud to be donning these special threads which pay a tribute to the powerful women of Rajasthan and of India. It will be a great occasion to celebrate the efforts of our Foundation and to salute the women who are making a difference on ground,' Kumar Sangakkara, Director of Cricket, Rajasthan Royals had said when the jersey was launched in March last year.

TNPL 2025: Angry Ravi Ashwin Argues With Female Umpire Over LBW Decision, Video Goes Viral
TNPL 2025: Ravichandran Ashwin, after a disappointing IPL 2025 season with Chennai Super Kings where he took only seven wickets and scored 33 runs in nine matches, is now captaining Dindigul Dragons in the Tamil Nadu Premier League. The 38-year-old all-rounder was seen in a heated argument with the umpire during a match against IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans on Sunday. It was the fifth ball of the fifth over when Dindigul opener R Ashwin was trapped in front of the stumps by Sai Kishore. The umpire didn't hesitate and raised her finger, but Ashwin felt the ball had pitched outside leg stump. He argued with the umpire briefly before walking off the field angrily. The 38-year-old hit his pads hard with the bat in frustration while returning to the pavilion. TNPL 2025 | iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans vs Dindigul Dragons | Star Sports #TNPLOnJioStar #TNPL #TNPL2025 — Star Sports Tamil (@StarSportsTamil) June 8, 2025 Tiruppur Bowlers Dominate Tiruppur's bowling unit was on fire, bundling out Dindigul for just 93 runs in 16.2 overs. Only three Dindigul batters managed to reach double figures. Shivam top-scored with 30 runs. Right-arm pacer Esakkimuthu starred with four wickets, while Sai Kishore picked up two important scalps. Raheja Seals It with a Stylish Knock Chasing the low total, Tiruppur had no trouble. Wicketkeeper-batter Tushar Raheja led the charge with a brilliant unbeaten 65. Tiruppur won the match by 9 wickets with 49 balls to spare, showing complete control throughout the chase. Ashwin's Tough Phase Continues Ashwin's poor run with the bat and ball is continuing. After a forgettable IPL 2025 season with Chennai Super Kings, where he took only 7 wickets and scored 33 runs in 9 matches, the veteran may be released by the franchise next year. He was also dropped from the playing XI in a few games this season. Surprise Retirement Last Year In December last year, Ashwin shocked everyone by announcing his retirement from international cricket in the middle of a Test series against Australia. He ended his Test career as India's second-highest wicket-taker with 537 wickets in 106 matches, just behind Anil Kumble's 619.

RCB banned from IPL 2026? Bengaluru stampede at Chinnaswamy stadium sparks speculation
Eleven people lost their lives and several others were injured during Royal Challengers Bengaluru's (RCB) IPL 2025 victory parade in Bengaluru. The event, meant to mark the team's first-ever IPL title win, turned into a stampede due to overcrowding and poor crowd control. Eyewitness accounts and video footage indicated a lack of proper exits, emergency medical services, and coordination between organisers and authorities. Police file FIR, arrests and resignations follow The Bengaluru Police have filed an FIR against RCB, the event management firm DNA Entertainment, and the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA). Police arrested Nikhil Sosale, RCB's head of marketing and an employee of its parent company Diageo, on Friday. Two KSCA officials — Secretary A Shankar and Treasurer ES Jairam — resigned on Saturday amid mounting political and public pressure. Several victims' families have also moved court, demanding strict action and compensation. BCCI says it was a franchise event The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has clarified that the parade was a franchise-led programme and not organised by the board. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said it was 'an unfortunate incident'. 'At some stage BCCI will have to do something. We cannot be a silent spectator,' Saikia told Cricbuzz. 'It was a private affair of RCB, but we at the BCCI are responsible for cricket in India, and we will try to ensure such incidents do not recur in future,' he added. The IPL is the BCCI's most valuable property, and the incident has placed the board in a difficult position. Calls for accountability are growing, but punishing a franchise could carry major commercial and legal consequences. Live Events MORE STORIES FOR YOU ✕ « Back to recommendation stories I don't want to see these stories because They are not relevant to me They disrupt the reading flow Others SUBMIT Ban rumours surface as investigation continues Speculation about a potential ban on RCB for the 2026 IPL season has surfaced on social media. In IPL's history, banning a franchise is not new. There is a precedent of team ban, including the temporary suspension of Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals in 2015 after spot-fixing charges. However, the current matter involves loss of lives, and any decision to act will depend on the findings of the Karnataka government's ongoing investigation. If gross negligence is proven, BCCI may face pressure to act. No BCCI action yet As of now, there is no official word from BCCI on any punitive measure against RCB. The investigation continues, and the outcome will likely determine what steps, if any, are taken.
