The Ezra Cup, instituted in 1880, is associated with which sport?

  1. A.Polo
  2. B.Horse racing
  3. C.Hockey
  4. D.Rowing

Correct answer

A. Polo

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Polo. The Ezra Cup is the oldest polo tournament in India and is played under the Indian Polo Association, along with other well known trophies such as the Sir Pratap Singh Cup and the Maharaja Jiwajirao Scindia Gold Cup. Option B is wrong because the leading Indian horse racing event is the Indian Derby at the Mahalaxmi racecourse in Mumbai, run by a turf club and not by the polo association. Option C is wrong because the historic Indian hockey trophies are the Beighton Cup, the Aga Khan Cup and the Dhyan Chand Trophy. Option D is wrong because rowing has no trophy of this name in India. Trophy to sport matching is a standing favourite, so keep the polo list separate from the hockey and racing lists.
