Congretulations to Sharath. Its his kamaal that we have heard the name of a paddler after such a long time. I wish him to bring more laurels to the country. Navin Goela
This fine performance by the Paddlers,only goes to re-iterate the point that India is not all about Cricket,in the world of sports.With the right incentives and sponsorship,and with apolitical Sports Bodies run by erstwhile sportspersons and Professional Management,our great country with a population of a billion,should be excelling in many more sports and games as talent abounds but is waiting to be discovered...
Sharath's performance in commanwealth games individual event and winning the same, is really great moment in the history of indian table tennis. The game has got a big boost with this win. All the earlier national champions like kabad jayanth, saikumar, chandrashekar, kamalesh mehta and all the former players and officials like me feel great being indians associated with the sport. The state of Bengal has contributed a lot and should properly encourage the sport further.
