Western India Squash Tournament: Vedant Patel of Gujarat, one of India’s top squash players, began his campaign in the 80th Western India Squash Tournament in fine style, beating Ishaan Kohli in straight games on the opening day at the historic Cricket Club of India (CCI) in Mumbai on Wednesday.

Born in Ahmedabad, Patel, ranked seventh in the country, has been one of the promising players in the country, but a recent injury break meant that this tournament became a fine vehicle for him to showcase his skills again. Vedant got the better of Ishaan Kohli of Maharashtra 11-2, 11-6, 11-3.

Apart from Patel’s encounter, the opening day featured exciting encounters with players showcasing agility, precision, and mental toughness on the court. Defending champions and emerging players alike are expected to deliver nail-biting matches in their quest for the title.
