On Sunday, October 9, the Jaipur Polo Team roared to an 8‑2 victory over Kanota Polo at the BM Birla Cup.
Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh opened the action by scoring all three goals in the first chukker, giving Jaipur an early edge that set the tone for the match.
Kanota fought back in the second chukker, with Kr. Pratap Singh Kanota netting a thunder‑crack goal that trimmed the lead to 3‑1 at halftime. Still, Jaipur’s defensive line and quick counter‑attacks kept the scoreline in their favour.
The Maharaja dominated the third period, striking a hat‑trick of his own that pushed Jaipur’s advantage to 6‑1. His sharp teamwork and commanding presence drew cheers from the crowd.
In the final chukker, Jaipur sealed the win. The Maharaja added a seventh goal, while Lance Watson and Br. Devvrat Singh Jhalamand each scored a goal, evening out the score. Kanota’s Dino Dhankar pulled one back late, but it was far from enough, and Jaipur finished the match confident and triumphant.
This win reaffirms Jaipur’s status as one of the strongest teams in the tournament, showcasing a blend of royal heritage, strategic skill, and solid teamwork under the inspiring leadership of Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh.
The team has already bagged titles in the Gen Amar Singh Kanota Cup, the Sawai Man Guard Cup, and the Chinkara Cup, defeating the Mayfair Polo Team, the Kognivera Stallions Polo Team, and Carysil Polo respectively.
Jaipur’s polo squad continues to uphold the city’s rich sporting legacy, delivering top‑class performances that combine skill, grace, and sportsmanship on the field.
