Puneri Paltan Table Tennis: Jeet Chandra stunned India’s top-ranked male paddler, Sharath Kamal, while Ayhika Mukherjee beat World no. 13 Bernadette Szocs on the day of upsets in the Ultimate Table Tennis 2024 here on Friday. Jeet’s sensational performance against Sharath drove his team, PBG Bengaluru Smashers, over the line against hosts Chennai Lions. Ayhika’s giant-killing, meanwhile, set the tone for Puneri Paltan Table Tennis’ victory over Ahmedabad SG Pipers.

New PBG Bengaluru Smashers captain Alvaro Robles began the tie with a men’s singles bout against Frenchman Jules Rolland. Robles, ranked 30th in the world, opened with a win, sustaining pressure in the final game from a resurgent Rolland to claim the match 2-1. Subsequently, Lily Zhang beat Poymantee Baisya by the same score-line to increase PBG Bengaluru’s lead to 4-2.

Another home favourite, Amalraj Anthony, partnered Zhang in an entertaining mixed doubles win over Sharath and Mori. Later, in the tie’s second women’s singles match, Manika Batra lost to Sakura Mori 2-1. Manika took the early lead but conceded the following two games to her opponent, the second being decided in a nail-biting manner through the Golden Point. Still, PBG Bengaluru Smashers won the tie 11-4.
