UTT Season 7: Ayhika Hands Sofia Polcanova First Defeat As Kolkata Beat Ahmedabad
Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium: Asian Games medallist Ayhika Mukherjee became the first player to defeat Sofia Polcanova in a Season 7 match of the Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT) as HVR Kolkata ThunderBlades registered their second win of the campaign with a 9-6 victory over Ahmedabad APL Pipers at the Dr. Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Indoor Stadium in Taleigao near Panaji on Friday.
Ayhika's impressive triumph over the Austrian star capped another strong all-around display from Kolkata, who climbed further into playoff contention.
The tie swung decisively in Kolkata's favour through the middle matches after Ankur Bhattacharjee and Ayhika delivered a commanding mixed doubles victory. Eduard Ionescu, then, produced a clinical straight-games win over Payas Jain before Ayhika completed the job in style.
