The Indian women’s cricket team is set to don pink jerseys during the final ODI against Australia in Delhi. The series is currently level at 1-1, with the decider taking place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium. The change in jersey color is to raise awareness for breast cancer. The BCCI announced this via social media, with a video featuring captain Harmanpreet Kaur, and players Pratik Rawal and Sneha Rana showcasing the new pink kit. The initiative is part of a broader effort to support breast cancer awareness, with the BCCI stating that the team will wear the special jerseys for the third ODI. Other teams and sporting organizations have previously taken similar steps to promote cancer awareness. South Africa’s men’s team has long supported the Pink Day tradition in Johannesburg. Teams like Gujarat Titans and Delhi Capitals in the IPL also wear special kits to support cancer awareness initiatives, and now the Indian women’s team joins this list.
