While the win is impressive, I wish the article gave a bit more insight into Aravali's strategy. They stayed close till halftime, so what went wrong in that third chukker? A more balanced analysis would be helpful for true sports fans.

Tough loss for Aravali, but Kr. Kuldeep Singh Rathore's 4 goals were a brilliant individual effort! 👏 Sometimes you play well but the other team is just better on the day. The Sawai Man Singh Cup always delivers great polo.
