Suhana’s blistering start netted a 3-1 lead via opportunistic shifts. Jaipur hit back in the second chukker, syncing attacks and shoring up rearguard, yet faced a 4-3 halftime deficit.
Explosive third-chukker action flipped the script: Watson’s lethal leadership, backed by Lorente, hammered in goals for an 8-6 lead, transforming pressure into power.
The fourth devolved into a defensive duel, score unchanged at 8-6, as Jaipur plotted their path to victory with calculated poise.
Unleashing in the fifth, they stormed to 11-6 amid ceaseless pressure. Suhana’s final-chukker resurgence narrowed it, but Jaipur’s multifaceted attack clinched 14-10.
Standout performer Watson tallied nine, Lorente four, Maharaja Sawai Padmanabh Singh one. Mastery of pace, precision, and passion defined Jaipur’s path to this season-capping masterpiece.
