Jaipur’s Polo Star Shines in Kashmir Challenge Cup
Jaipur’s polo squad, led by HH Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh, overwhelmed the Thunderbolt Team in the Kashmir Challenge Cup, winning 13‑2.5 and earning a spot in the final against Kanota Polo this Sunday. From the very first chukker, Padmanabh Singh set the tempo with razor‑sharp accuracy and relentless pressure, netting an astonishing nine goals. He was supported by Pranav Kapur, who added three, and South African striker Lance Watson, who scored one, giving Jaipur a sweeping 13‑2.5 lead. Despite a valiant effort from the Thunderbolt, which earned Lt. Col. Vishal Chauhan one goal, the team finished with just 2.5 when the 1.5‑point handicap was factored in.
Padmanabh Singh’s performance was the talk of the match, and Jaipur’s cohesive, aggressive play ensured they maintained the lead from start to finish. Their victory cemented their impressive run in the tournament and showcased the blend of skill and determination that defines the Jaipur Polo Team.
In the early stages of the competition, Jaipur faced Kanota Polo in a nail‑biting 8‑7 contest and emerged victorious. Four goals apiece came from Lance Watson and Padmanabh Singh, keeping Jaipur in the driver’s seat during crucial moments. Kanota’s Hurr Ali matched that tally, while Dino Dhankar added two and Kr. Pratap Singh Kanota contributed one, forcing Jaipur to stay focused until the final whistle. The game highlighted Jaipur’s ability to stay calm under pressure and secure narrow wins as they advance further in the cup.
