While I appreciate the sport, I wish more common people had access to watch these matches. Polo often feels like an elite sport that ordinary Indians can't relate to. The ticket prices should be more affordable.

Good to see corporate sponsors like KogniVera supporting traditional sports. This is exactly what we need - modern businesses preserving our heritage. More Indian companies should come forward like this.

Sawai Padmanabh Singh representing Jaipur's royal legacy in polo! 🐎 Our maharajas have always been patrons of this sport. Hope this inspires more young Indians to take up polo professionally.
