Unenviable job of repeating history for Indian table tennis stars
Table tennis has proven to be a rich array of medals at the Commonwealth Games with India winning 20 medals from five campaigns including the record 8 achieved at Gold Coast 2018. In fact, the sport is the sixth best overall of 17 editions, although table tennis was introduced on the CWG in 2002.
India won three golds, two silvers and three bronzes at the 2018 edition in Australia’s Gold Coast, while Manika Batra took three medals. The 27-year-old from Delhi stunned Singapore Olympic medalist Feng Tianwei not once but twice in the competition to secure individual and team gold for India. The 35-year-old Singaporean will try to level the score against Manika in Birmingham. You can expect her to come better prepared.

Singapore has even dominated table tennis at the Commonwealth Games, with no fewer than 50 medals, 21 of which were gold. This time, Manika is joined by reigning National Champion Sreeja Akula, Reeth Rishya and Diya Chitale in a new women’s team.
As for the men’s team, Sharath Kamal, who will perform in his fifth and final Commonwealth Games, has Sathiyan Gnanasekaran, Harmeet Desai and Sanil Shetty as company,
Their biggest challenge will come from Nigeria, with world No. 12 Aruna Quadri, and England, with much-improved Liam Pitchford and veteran Paul Drinkhall in their ranks.
India is defending champions in both the women’s and men’s team competitions and will try to defend their crown and take individual medals in Birmingham.
The players had trained in Portugal before some in Hungary competed in the WTT Championships for CWG. For eight players, six members travel to Birmingham as part of the support staff, including two national coaches S Raman and Anindita Chakraborty, Manika Batras personal coach Chris Adrian Pfeiffer, masseur Harmeet Kaur, physio Vikash Singh, sports psychologist Gayatri Vartak, after some controversy, and team manager SD Mudgil, who is a member of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Trustees leading the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI).

But the table tennis build-up for the CWG didn’t go as smoothly as three players approached the Delhi High Court against their non-squad.
The TTFI, which is led by the court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA), was sued by Diya Chitale, Manush Shah and Swastika Ghosh for not being selected for the Indian CWG squad. In the end, only Chitale managed to get in at the expense of Archana Kamath, who would play the doubles alongside Manika, with Swastika being named as standby.
