Why UP Warriorz Are Wearing Pink Jerseys Today?
The Meg Lanning-led squad are playing with pink jerseys for a social cause, highlighting the importance of education for girls, especially in rural areas.
In collaboration with Educate Girls Foundation and sponsors Capri Sports, the pink kits donned by UP Warriorz symbolise courage to fulfil the dreams of young girls to study and play cricket.
The franchise shared a heartwarming video in which little girls from a small town in Uttar Pradesh were asked to share their messages with the players. The messages could be a word, a few lines, or even a drawing. All messages were then converted into wearable art by Harun Robert, a famous Indian artist, popularly known for his show M.A.D.
