More Grassroots Tournaments Vital To Polo’s Growth In India: Simran Singh Shergill
Jindal Panther Polo Team: Arjuna awardee and star Indian polo player Simran Singh Shergill asserts that expanding entry-level tournaments is crucial to broadening the talent pool and boosting the sport's visibility in India, helping polo shed its niche status and reach a wider audience.
In an exclusive interview with IANS, the polo veteran shed light on the game’s status in the country, the decline in the number of players, and how the introduction of more corporate leagues can change that status.
"Well, unfortunately, the number of players in polo in India, right now, has reduced. So, I think this is one of those things that polo goes through. Currently, the number of younger players and seniors has decreased, resulting in a slight reduction in overall player strength. But we have good young players coming through the system. So, hopefully, in a few years, we will have more players playing the game. But at the moment, we have a few, not so many,” Shergill told IANS.
