Ultimate Table Tennis: India’s 18-year-old sensation Ankur Bhattacharjee stunned Olympian and World No. 55 Kirill Gerassimenko with a sweeping 3-0 victory, as debutants Kolkata ThunderBlades opened their Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT) Season 6 campaign with a thrilling 8-7 win over Stanley’s Chennai Lions.

Staged under the aegis of the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI) and promoted by Niraj Bajaj and Vita Dani, UTT continues to grow as a premier professional league. All 23 ties, over 16 action-packed days, will take place at Ahmedabad’s EKA Arena, will be broadcast on Star Sports Khel and Star Sports 2 Tamil, and streamed live on JioHotstar for fans across the country.

With Indian stars clashing against international heavyweights across all four singles matches, the spotlight was firmly on Ankur, who stunned the 28-year-old Gerassimenko, an opponent ten years older and 104 spots ahead of him, 3-0 in the opener.
