Jaipur: Jaipur Polo Team capped off a strong campaign in the Kognivera Cup with a composed 5–2 victory over V Polo in the final, showcasing control, discipline, and assured finishing across all four chukkers to lift the title.

Jaipur dictated the tempo for large periods of the contest, steadily building pressure and capitalising on key moments to seal a deserved triumph.

The final began on an even footing, with both sides feeling their way into the game. V Polo opened their account early, matched soon after by Jaipur, as the first chukker ended level at 1–1, setting the tone for a competitive encounter.

Jaipur began to assert themselves in the second chukker, edging ahead through better ball movement and sharper finishing. A goal in the latter stages helped Jaipur take a slender 2–1 lead into halftime, with V Polo staying within touching distance through determined defence.

The third chukker proved decisive as Jaipur stepped up the intensity. Lance Watson led the charge with clinical conversions, while HH Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur controlled play effectively, helping Jaipur extend their advantage to 4–1 by the end of the chukker.

V Polo attempted a late resurgence in the final chukker, adding a goal through their attacking duo, but Jaipur remained composed under pressure. Watson added his fourth of the match to shut the door on any comeback, as Jaipur closed out the final at 5–2 to secure the Kognivera Cup.

Lance Watson emerged as the standout performer for Jaipur with four goals, while HH Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh of Jaipur added one, underlining a balanced and controlled team effort. For V Polo, Vivaan Mehta and Santiago Marambio were on the scoresheet with a goal apiece.
