Speaking exclusively to IANS, Pawan emphasized the importance of introducing cricket fans to Rajasthan\u2019s rich cultural heritage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThe lighting inside the stadium will reflect the bright colours of Rajasthan, enhancing the festive atmosphere,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
For the first time, IPL matches in Jaipur will showcase live performances by Rajasthani folk artists, moving beyond the traditional cheerleading format, he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cTill now, the world has seen cheer girls dancing to IPL music, but this year, folk artists have been invited to mesmerize audiences with their exceptional talent,\u201d he told IANS.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In a significant move towards sustainability, IPL matches in Rajasthan will feature a sapling plantation drive. \u201cEach player will plant as many saplings as the number of runs they score during the tournament,\u201d Pawan revealed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The initiative aims to transform the SMS Stadium into a green stadium by next year.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Additionally, this year\u2019s IPL in Jaipur will be organized as a Green IPL, ensuring a plastic-free environment throughout the matches.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Beyond cricket and culture, the Jaipur IPL matches will also serve as a platform for social impact. The government will use the event to raise awareness about organ and eye donation. Players will be featured in short awareness videos encouraging people to pledge their organs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThree lakh people are waiting for eye transplants. Through this IPL, we aim to spread awareness via hoardings and campaigns,\u201d he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Families of those who have passed away can still bless those in need by choosing organ donation,\u201d Pawan stated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
