The tournament boasts several high-quality players who are likely to shape the competition. Among the standout +4 players are Shamsheer Ali, Gonzalo Yanzon, and Simran Shergill, whose experience and tactical awareness bring significant strength to their respective teams.

Strong +3 handicap ranking players, including Siddhant Sharma, Hurr Ali, Naveen Singh, and Kuldeep Singh, add further firepower, ensuring closely contested encounters across both pools.

Equally crucial will be the contributions of +2 handicap ranking players such as Dino Dhankar, Bhawani Kalvi, Phill Seller, and Salim Azmi, whose versatility and midfield control often prove decisive in the 4-goal format, bridging attacking play with defensive stability.

With a combination of top-ranked professionals and rising polo talent, the tournament promises a dynamic blend of strategy, speed, and precision.

Pool B looks like the group of death! Jindal Panther, Carysil, V Polo... all very strong. My money is on Siddhant Sharma to have a standout tournament. His control in midfield is superb.

A respectful suggestion for the organizers: while the coverage is good, it would be great to have more live streaming options for those of us who can't make it to Noida. Polo needs to be more accessible to grow its fanbase beyond the usual circles.

Impressive lineup of +2 players mentioned. In a 4-goal format, their role is absolutely critical. Dino Dhankar and Bhawani Kalvi can completely change a game. Looking forward to it!
