India stunned world No. 1 Argentina 10-9 in the 2025 KogniVera International Polo Cup final at the Jaipur Polo Ground, marking a historic victory and reigniting hopes for polo’s revival in its birthplace. Led by Sawai Padmanabh Singh and Captain Simran Singh Shergill, Team India displayed exceptional skill and tactical brilliance.

Despite polo’s rich heritage in India, the sport faces challenges such as limited clubs, high costs, and low sponsorship, unlike Argentina’s well-funded polo infrastructure. The victory not only celebrates India’s legacy but also signals potential growth, encouraging youth participation, sponsorship, and broader engagement with the sport.
