Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium: Manav Thakkar pulled off a nail-biting victory against the experienced Achanta Sharath Kamal as U Mumba TT defeated Chennai Lions 8-7 in an exciting clash in the Ultimate Table Tennis 2024 at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium here on Friday. U Mumba TT thus jumped to the second spot on the league table with 29 points while Chennai Lions have 19 points.

In a clash between youth and experience, the talented Thakkar staged a superb comeback after suffering an early reversal to carve out a 6-11, 11-8, 11-9 victory. Thakkar, who thus maintained his all-win record this season, anchored the victory for U Mumba. Thakkar had teamed up with Spanish star Maria Xiao earlier in the evening to outclass the Chennai Lions pair of Sharath and Sakura Mori 11-7, 11-10, 11-4 in the mixed doubles match.

U Mumba TT, who were enjoying the lead at that point, seemed to be cruising to a comfortable win but super mom Mouma Das had other plans. The experienced Team India star almost took Chennai Lions past the line in the last match of the tie – the women’s singles – before Maria Xiao saved the day for U Mumba off the last shot of the tie.
