Manika Batra and Achanta Sharath Kamal will be in fray.

The Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT) league is back for its fifth season, and it’s shaping up to be an exciting tournament! The defending champions, Goa Challengers, will be facing off against a new team, the Jaipur Patriots, to kickstart the action.

The tournament will take place in Chennai’s Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium from August 22 to September 7, with a total of 23 matches. This year, the league has expanded from six to eight teams, so there’ll be more players and more competition.

The format has been tweaked a bit – the teams will be divided into two groups of four, and the top four teams overall will advance to the knockout stage. This should make for some intense matchups, especially when the new Ahmedabad team faces off against Puneri Paltan, and when the Chennai Lions take on the Bengaluru Smashers in a southern derby.

Some of the world’s top table tennis stars will be participating, including Indian legends like Sharath Kamal and Manika Batra will also be playing, along with some promising young Indian talents.
