Jaipur, January 28

By the end of the second chukker, Jindal Bedla had taken a substantial lead. This was courtesy of three consecutive goals from Siddhant Sharma, who increased his side's lead by 3.5 with the score reading 6.5-3 at the end of the second chukker.

Great to see polo getting such detailed coverage. A 0.5-point handicap start is interesting. Shows how competitive the sport is. Teamwork from Sharma, Bedla, and Shergill was key. All the best for the KogniVera trophy!
While the win is impressive, starting with a handicap advantage does take away some of the pure sporting spirit, no? A win should be earned entirely on the field. Still, congrats to the team.
Thrilling to read! The description of the fast-paced chukker really brings the match to life. Hope this sport continues to grow in popularity across India. Well done, Jindal Bedla!
Jaipur and polo – a classic combination. The Rajmata Gayatri Devi Memorial Cup win and now this... they are truly the kings of the circuit this season. Siddhant Sharma is in phenomenal form. Bahut badhiya!
Excellent! It's good to see Simran Shergill also getting on the scoresheet. A complete team effort. Wishing them all the luck for the historic trophy. 🇮🇳
