Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh guided his Jaipur squad to a commanding 9-5 victory over Kanota at the Rajasthan Polo Club, claiming the Kashmir Challenge Cup title. South African striker Lance Watson delivered five goals while the royal captain contributed four, maintaining their undefeated record against Kanota across three tournament meetings.
Watson established early control with a pair of first-period strikes before Kanota mounted a brief challenge through scores from Ashok Chandna and Dino Dhankhar. The decisive third period saw Jaipur extend their advantage through multiple conversions from both Watson and the Maharaja, while Hurr Ali provided Kanota's late resistance with three tallies.
The championship represents Jaipur's fourth trophy capture during the current Indian season, with substantial competition remaining on the calendar.
