Team India Knocked Out In Round Of 32 At ITTF World Table Tennis Championships
ITTF World Table Tennis Championships: India's campaign at the ITTF World Team Table Tennis Championships 2026 ended disappointingly as both the men's and women's teams lost in the round of 32 at the OVO Arena Wembley in London. The Indian men’s team faced a 3-0 defeat against Austria, while the women’s team lost 3-1 to the United States. This marked the end of what had been promising runs in the group stages.
In the men’s match, World No. 51 Manush Shah fought hard in the first game but narrowly lost 3-2 (6-11, 11-7, 11-3, 8-11, 13-11) to Olympian Robert Gardos. This close defeat was crucial, as India found it difficult to recover afterwards.
World No. 39 Manav Thakkar lost 3-0 (11-7, 11-5, 11-6) to Daniel Habesohn. Olympian Sathiyan Gnanasekaran, ranked 42nd, also lost in straight games, 3-0 (11-5, 11-8, 11-9), to Andreas Levenko. Austria comfortably secured the tie.
