    Indian TT Team Builds Up For Centenary World Championships With SAI-backed Overseas Camp

    ITTF World Team Table Tennis: The Sports Authority of India (SAI) put in place a comprehensive support worth over ₹90 lakh to ensure the Indian table tennis team put their best foot forward at the milestone centenary ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships (WTTC), which gets underway in London on Tuesday and ends on May 10 at the OVO Arena in Wembley.

    A 19-member Indian contingent, comprising 10 players, three coaches, three support staff, and three sparring partners, are representing the country at the prestigious global event, with leading names such as Manika Batra, Gnanasekaran Sathiyan, Manav Thakkar, and Harmeet Desai spearheading the challenge across men’s and women’s competitions.

    The Indian men’s team is drawn alongside Slovakia, Tunisia, and Guatemala, while the women’s team will take on Ukraine, Uganda, and Rwanda in the group stages. The group stage matches are scheduled between April 28 and May 1. The Indian teams will be looking to go further this time around; both the men’s and women’s teams advanced to the knockout stages but exited in the Round of 32 in the 2024 edition of the competition in Busan.
