ONGC braces Indian Table Tennis glory ONGCian Harmeet Desai is new Commonwealth Champion

New Delhi: For the first time since 1975, a single nation has won all the 7 medals at one edition of Commonwealth Table Tennis championship. Out of our 11 ONGC active players at the 21st Commonwealth Table Tennis Championship 2019, held in Cuttack’s Jawaharlal Indoor Stadium during 17-22 July, nine were playing the championship for India and among them 6 were medal winners.
 
Indian men defended their crown by beating England, while the women blanked Singapore for their maiden title at Cuttack on last Friday.
 
England tried to change the script but the Indian men brought in a twist to the tale through birthday boy ONGCian Harmeet Desai to end the English hopes to lift the Host Association's Cup.
 
The men beat England 3-2, while Indian women defeated England 3-0 and dethroned the defending Champions Singapore who had a stranglehold on the trophy since 1997.
