While the victory is impressive, I wish there was more coverage of Indian players rather than focusing so much on foreign players. Vandit Golecha and others deserve equal spotlight.

The scoreline doesn't reflect how competitive the match was. Suhana All Stars showed great spirit in the second half. Polo is such an elegant sport - wish more people would watch it!

Jaipur team's dominance from the first chukker was amazing! 3-0 in first chukker itself set the tone. Hope they maintain this form in the final. 🤞
