RESULT, AUSTRALIA V INDIA TEST MATCH: 15 MARCH 2008

16 Mar 2008

In a fast paced polo match India emerged winners of the International Indiabulls Polo test match. Australia started with a 1/2 goal handicap and started off with the 1st goal of the match. At the end of the 1st chukkar Australia was ahead of India. However, India equalised in the 2nd chukkar and went ahead of Australia. India kept increasing their lead and won the game with a score of 8 to 4-1/2 goals.

Scorers for India: Vishal Chauhan (2), Tarun Sirohi (2), Samir Suhag (2), Vishal Singh (2)

Scorers for Australia: Callum MaClachlan (3), Gillon McLachlan (1)

The evening started off with a India Bulls helicopter flying over the polo ground and showering rose petals. This was followed by a fashion show by Delna Poonawalla who featured riding inspired outfits, sarees and evening dresses on the catwalk. Strutting her creations were some of the top models along with some polo players and riders. The polo match was followed by a trick riding display from the Cavalry. The evening was capped off with a party on the ground with good food, drinks, live music and a great crowd.
