As part of U.S. Polo Assn.'s global moment, this grand event united polo
enthusiasts, fashion aficionados, and cultural tastemakers in an event that
paid tribute to the sport's rich heritage and longstanding influence. The
highlight of the evening was an intense and action-packed exhibition match,
where the USPA India Team, led by HH Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur,
took on the USPA Global Team with players from around the world in a gripping
championship. The final period saw fierce competition, with both teams
battling goal for goal, but USPA India ultimately secured victory with a final
score of 8-7, edging ahead by one goal.

The Most Valuable Player of the match was HH Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh of
Jaipur, whose exceptional performance on USPA India Team captivated the
audience, while the Best Playing Pony title was awarded to a horse proudly

polo-inspired silhouettes with contemporary styling, embodying the spirit of
both effortless elegance and timeless fashion. From signature polo shirts and
tailored separates to breathable linens and elevated casuals, the Collection
captured the essence of the sport of polo while catering to the evolving
preferences of modern consumers.
