At 42 years old, Sharath, who is a record 10-time national champion, is currently India’s top-ranked men’s singles player, placed 92nd in the latest WTT ranking list. Sharath has won 13 Commonwealth Games medals (including seven gold) and two Asian Games bronze medals, five Olympic Games appearances, and two ITTF Pro Tour titles under his two-decade-long career.

A historic singles gold medal at the 2006 Commonwealth Games in Melbourne and another gold in the men’s team event capped a successful year.
