minute remaining but England fought on.
They won the line-out and Emerson and
Gonzalez dribbled the ball slowly together
blocking for each other towards the goal.
This pressure caused India to foul and
Gonzalez scored the 60-yard penalty under
immense pressure to equalise on the bell.
As the match was so hard-fought
in intense heat, it was decided to call it
a draw and not play extra time.
Organiser Suresh Tapuriah said it was
the best match of international polo he had
witnessed for a long time.
After the match, the teams celebrated
with an after party hosted by Millionaire Asia
and St Regis at the side of the ground. The
packed party demonstrated India’s
exemplary hospitality. The England team
could not believe their new celebrity status
in Mumbai and spent the night in the
company of the good and great of the city.
