It was a visual treat for the sports lovers in Jaipur as the two neighbours played a polo match over the weekend at a colourfully organised tournament.
Played between the Jaipur Club of India and Lahore Club of Pakistan, the exhibition match was held after 65 years at the Jaipur Riding Club. The last match between these two was played in 1940.
Unlike other professional matches, the teams in this game did not enter the contest to win the game but for the bigger goal of developing the spirit of sportsmanship.
The Pakistani team won the match by 6 goals to 5. However, the Pakistani players felt that the margin would have been different if they had brought their own horses.
