Polo thrived under the patronage of the Mughal Emperors and Rajput Kings. Man Singh II (former King of Jaipur) was the finest and most dashing Polo player in the world. Polo team of Man Singh II was champion in the European Polo circuit in the 1930s.

Maharani Gayatri Devi of Jaipur was also a great lover of Polo. She was an excellent Polo player.

In 1933, the famous Jaipur Team established a unique and an unbeaten record till date, by winning all the open tournaments in the United Kingdom and the Indian Championship successively from the year 1930 to 1938.
