KIYG 2025: Karnataka Girls, Uttar Pradesh Boys End Basketball Competition In A Blaze Of Glory
Patliputra Sports Complex Indoor Stadium: Karnataka girls and Uttar Pradesh boys won well-deserved gold medals but in contrasting styles in the basketball competition in the Khelo India Youth Games 2025 Bihar at the Patliputra Sports Complex Indoor Stadium here on Thursday.
Karnataka girls’ all-round superiority over Haryana was in evidence as they dominated the final. The low-scoring boys’ title clash was a more attritional contest, with the teams seemingly well-matched. Uttar Pradesh’s ability to find ways to score at critical moments helped it beat back Rajasthan’s challenge.
Nidhi Umesh’s shooting skills came in handy while skipper Nidhi Srinivas donned the role of playmaker and contributed with her lay-up shots as well. Mahek Sharma made her presence felt with 21 rebounds, 7 of them on the offensive court and scored as well to lend her shoulder to Karnataka’s wheel.
