A well-deserved victory, but full credit to Siddhant Sharma from Mayfair as well. He fought hard even when the team was under pressure. More competition like this will only raise the standard of polo in India.

It's great to see such dominance, but I do hope the sport becomes more accessible and gets more media coverage. There's so much talent beyond the traditional royal and army circles. A respectful suggestion to the associations.
