Khelo India University Games: Chandigarh University defeated Bharati Vidyapeeth in the final to win the gold medal in the 4th Khelo India University Games 2023 Ashtalakshmi, turning things around in the hard-fought encounter. As the women’s kabaddi final between Chandigarh University and Bharati Vidyapeeth headed towards a nail-biting finish, the instruction from Chandigarh skipper Sakshi Sharma started becoming precise and the players diligently followed them to perfection.

Chandigarh University made its KIUG debut in kabaddi in four years thanks to the leadership of Sakshi and went on to win the gold medal in their first appearance.

Sakshi, 21, who is originally from Himachal Pradesh and joined Chandigarh University last year to pursue an MA in English, has been instrumental in building a young team this year by leading from the front.
