Dabang Delhi captain Sathiyan Gnanasekaran dazzled in a spectacular comeback against Goa Challengers' Mihai Bobocica, securing a maiden victory for his team in the Ultimate Table Tennis league. Bobocica initially triumphed in the first game 11-8 following a 23-shot rally, the longest of the season, but Gnanasekaran turned the tide to win the subsequent games.
In a historic women's singles match, Dabang Delhi's Orawan Paranang became the first player to defeat Yangzi Liu in the league. Paranang's impressive performance saw her win 11-7 in the first game and ultimately take the match on a golden point, with Liu winning only the third game to maintain some honor.
The mixed doubles saw Paranang and Gnanasekaran team up to take another victory over Liu and her partner Harmeet Desai, winning two games to one. Despite Harmeet's efforts to lead Goa Challengers in the second men's singles match with a win over Andreas Levenko, Dabang Delhi's overall performance ensured a triumph.
