Consider the following statements in respect of the first Kho Kho World Cup: [Miscellaneous]

I. The event was held in Delhi, India.

II. Indian men beat Nepal with a score of 78-40 in the final to become the World Champion in men category.

III. Indian women beat Nepal with a score of 54-36 in the final to become the World Champion in women category.

Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

The correct option is I only.

Let's analyze the statements step-by-step to understand why only the first statement is correct:

Statement I: The event was held in Delhi, India.
This statement is correct. The first ever Kho Kho World Cup was hosted in New Delhi, India, at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Sports Complex in January 2025.

Statement II: Indian men beat Nepal with a score of 78-40 in the final to become the World Champion in men category.
This statement is incorrect. While the Indian men's team did compete for the championship, the final scoreline of 78-40 is not accurate for the final match of the first Kho Kho World Cup.

Statement III: Indian women beat Nepal with a score of 54-36 in the final to become the World Champion in women category.
This statement is also incorrect because the scoreline of 54-36 does not match the actual final score of the tournament.

Therefore, only Statement I is correct, making "I only" the correct option.
