Besides that, all the players would wear a red ribbon on their jerseys to mark the Awareness of the positive syndrome.
There are plans to make a film too, so as to spread the awareness. The short film would be like a documentary with the captain of the Kings Eleven Punjab Kumar Sangakara, Preity Zinta, and Yuvraj Singh who is the main batsman of Preity’s team.
