Bhavnagar, Nov 11

Haryana reigned supreme as Soumyajit Ghosh claimed his first title in three years in the UTT National Ranking (Central Zone) Table Tennis Championships at the SAG Sports Complex here on Monday.

In all-Haryana men singles final, Soumyajit defeated Jeet Chandra 4-1.

With bigger seeds out of reckoning, things became rather easy for Soumyajit but had to cross the Jeet hurdle. Fortunately for the former national champion, his rival suffered a side back strain with Soumyajit leading 2-0. Yet, the youngster managed to take a game off him before being subdued.

Soumyajit had reached the final of the 2017 Senior Nationals at Ranchi, held in January 2018. Before that, he had made a token appearance in one national ranking event in 2017 without making any impression.
