IND vs AUS- Why did both teams wear pink jerseys..!?

India and australia played in pink Test jerseys on the third day of the Sydney Test. There is confusion among fans as to why the players came to play in pink for this Test match, which is now being played with a red ball when the pink Test match has already been played in Adelaide. There is a good reason for both teams, who wore plain jerseys for the first two days, to change their jerseys now. The foundation run by former Australian fast bowler Glenn McGrath is the reason for this change. McGrath's second wife, Jen McGrath, passed away due to breast cancer a few years ago. Awareness about breast cancer was not very high then. Therefore, to raise awareness about breast cancer, the team will wear a pink jersey with a white stripe on sunday in the Test match held annually in Sydney.
 Fans will also be advised to wear pink clothes. pink banners and breast cancer awareness banners will be placed all over the Sydney stadium. Fans who come to watch this Test match without stopping will donate money to the foundation run by McGrath. This money will be used to raise awareness about breast cancer. It is noteworthy that the Australian cricket Board and the McGrath Foundation have been organizing this event together every year. Methraj, who is suffering from the separation of his wife, is doing this good deed so that no one else will be affected in this way, which has created a sense of resilience among fans.
