Rajasthan Royals quoted an ICC tweet of the first look of Japan’s Under-19 cricket team’s kit as they captioned their post 'Some would say it looks....Royal'. The former IPL winners were certainly fascinated by Japan’s pink kit as it resembles the outfit they donned for the first time in the 2019 Indian Premier League season. RR wore a pink kit once in the 2018 season to spread awareness about cancer but the following campaign embraced the new colour as the fans said they loved the Royals in pink. This jersey is clearly an ode to the capital of Rajasthan, Jaipur which is also known as the ‘Pink City’. Rajasthan Royals will be playing in the 13th edition of IPL which is scheduled to kick-start on March 29, 2020, and will be full of confidence as they have added some great players in their team during the 2020 IPL Player Auction. ICC U19 Cricket World Cup 2020 All Squads: Full Players List of Teams Participating in Under-19 CWC 20.
