Argentina is world no. 1, so this will be tough for our team. But our players have good mix of experience and youth. Simran Shergill's World Cup experience should help!

While I appreciate the event, I wish tickets were more affordable for common sports enthusiasts. Polo often feels too elite for regular fans to attend live matches.

Hope this gets good TV coverage! Many of us can't make it to Delhi but would love to watch our team take on the world champions. Doordarshan should broadcast this! 📺
