Jaipur Athletes Dominate Rajasthan Veteran Table Tennis Championship
Jaipur’s table tennis contingent delivered a masterclass in skill and consistency at the Rajasthan Veteran Table Tennis tournament, securing the majority of titles across multiple age categories. The event highlighted the city’s depth in the sport, as local players outpaced the competition to claim the top spots on the podium.
The tournament, which brought together veteran athletes from across the region, saw Jaipur players establish a firm grip on the proceedings. From singles dominance to cohesive teamwork in the doubles categories, the local talent pool proved too strong for their opponents.
Men’s Singles: A Sweep Across Age Groups
The men’s singles categories were a showcase of endurance and technical precision. In the 40+ age group, Mamtesh Vaishnav emerged as the champion, overcoming Amal Bharti, who finished as the runner-up. The competition in this bracket was particularly fierce, reflecting the high level of play among the region’s veteran athletes.
The momentum continued in the 45+ category, where Sachit Gupta secured the title. Gupta’s victory underscored his standing as one of the premier veteran players in the state, a performance he would later mirror in the doubles circuit.
In the 55+ division, Bhavya Deepak Sharma claimed the gold, defeating Rajiv Gupta, who took home the runner-up trophy. The victory for Sharma reinforces the competitive nature of the senior brackets in Rajasthan’s veteran circuit.
Women’s Singles and Doubles Success
The women’s singles category saw a decisive performance by Manisha Jain, who captured the championship title. Nirmala Chaudhary put up a strong fight but ultimately finished as the runner-up.
The dominance extended to the Men’s Doubles 45+ event. The pairing of Sachit Gupta and Ashish proved clinical, winning the title. They defeated the duo of Sunil and Pratik Sharma, who finished as runners-up.

Outside of the Jaipur-centric victories, players from other districts have also made their mark. Mahendra Singh Umt, Secretary of the District Table Tennis Association in Sirohi, previously secured a third-place finish in the 64+ singles competition at the state level.
Looking Ahead: Upcoming Regional Events
The momentum from the Rajasthan Veteran circuit is expected to carry into the next series of regional competitions. Table tennis enthusiasts should look toward the 8th Dungarpur District Table Tennis Competition and the 3rd Dungarpur District Veteran Table Tennis Competition 2025. These events are scheduled for May 10-11 at the KK Academy, Swami Vivekanand College in Sagwara.
As the veteran circuit continues to grow, the dominance of Jaipur players sets a high benchmark for athletes from other districts aiming to disrupt the current hierarchy in future state rankings.
