Bengal’s Ankur Bhattacharjee won a treble at the 85th UTT Inter-State Youth and Junior National Table Tennis Championships which ended at the Netaji Indoor Stadium on Sunday.

Ankur, who had bagged the under-19 boys’ team gold on Saturday, added the singles and doubles gold on Sunday.

In the singles, he defeated statemate Bodhisatwa Chaudhury 4-0 and then partnered with the singles runner-up to beat Sarth Mishra and Divyansh Srivastava of Uttar Pradesh 3-1 in the doubles final.

Ankur proved far superior on the day. If his attack was the best weapon he deployed against his friend, he has also learned to defend, making him a clever player. Bodhisatwa, on the other hand, lacked the nuances of a final and often tripped when he had to be extra cautious. Of course, the match saw excellent rallies.

The under-17 boys final was an all-Assam affair. Priyanuj Bhattacharyya, with a superior game plan and approach, made the title shot look easy against Rajkhowa Roy. Priyanuj won 3-1.
