After the flag hoisting and receiving of the guests, a women’s hockey exhibition match between Sports Authority of India(SAI) Academy, Madikeri and Coorg XI was played. SAI Academy won 2 – 0. After a general welcome by the Kundyolanda family, Pandanda Bopanna praised the family for their exceptional efforts in bringing 360 family teams together for this tournament, the highest ever.
