The Polo team ends
2019 with four thumping victories and has been a consistent favourite
throughout the year across domestic championships
Delhi, 11th December 2019: Sahara Warriors, the reigning National Champions, Polo team, has won
the IPA National Open Championship 2019 for the second consecutive year by
winning the final match against Jindal Panthers, known to be among the
strongest opponents in India. The team, donning jerseys in colours from the
popular Sahara India Pariwar logo, put their best foot forward and nailed the
game during an edge-of-the-seat match. The team members - Chris Mackenzi,
Siddhant Sharma, Angad Kalaan and Satinder Garcha ensured the team’s flag flies high. The team was
presented the trophy by Yuvraj Vikramaditya Singh of Kashmir, who has previously
won this coveted championship several times in his sporting career.
Sahara Warriors has had a fantastic season so far winning four major tournaments of
the Indian Polo Association Season at Jaipur and Delhi. Prior to this, the team
has won the RPC Cup Jaipur, General Amar Singh Kanota Cup and Maharaja Hari
Singh Cup across the year at venues in Delhi and Jaipur.
Once known as
the Maharaja’s game, Polo is fast becoming a sport that is gaining ground
across the country by penetrating the pockets of society that it had not quite
tapped into in the last few decades. Pretty much like other team-sports like
Kabaddi and Football, privately-owned teams are mushrooming in a big way, and
leading the race here is Sahara Warriors, the team that recently won the IPA
National Open Championship, making it the team’s fourth big win this year.
