Double crown for Ahmedabad’s Mouboni

Gandhidham, May 6: It was a matter of double delight for Amdavadi paddler Mouboni Chatterjee as she grabbed double crown at the Microsign 1st Gujarat State Ranking Table Tennis Tournament 2024 which concluded on May 5 at the SAG Sports Complex, Sidsar in Bhavnagar.

The season-opener tournament is organised by Bhavnagar District Table Tennis Association under the aegis of Gujarat State Table Tennis Association (GSTTA) and the title is sponsored by Microsign Products and the tournament is supported by Sports Authority of Gujarat (SAG).

The 13-year-old Mouboni dropped the opening game only to script an incredible comeback to triumph over Surat’s Arnee Parmar 4-1 and win the girls U-19 trophy. Local girl Riya Jayswal got past Tanisha Katarmal of Jamnagar 3-1 to take the third position.

Mouboni, however, completely dominated the girls U-15 category as the Ahmedabad girl powered through her city mate Jiya Trivedi with a 3-0 win to walk away with a double crown in the first state meet of the season. Vadodara-boy Ved Panchal captured the boys U-15 title by beating Malav Panchal of Ahmedabad in the final.

Local favourite and top seed Riya bagged the girls U-17 title by decimating 11th seed and another local girl Charmi Trivedi 3-0. Ahmedabad’s Nidhi Prajapati took the third place after getting past 3-2 against a spirited Daniya Godil of Surat.

Khwaish Lotia of Ahmedabad won the girls U-13 title while the boys U-13 title was pocketed by Ansh Khamar. Dhruv Bhambhani of Kutch took home the boys U-11 crown while Mishka Lakhani of Ahmedabad grabbed the girls U-13 title.
