UTT 2025: New champion to emerge as Jaipur Patriots meet U Mumba TT in season 6 finale

Both teams will be making their first-ever final appearance.

Rivalries will reignite, new heroes will emerge, and high-stakes battles will unfold as a new champion is crowned in the Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT 2025) Season 6 Grand Finale between first-time finalists Jaipur Patriots and U Mumba TT on Sunday. The tie will be broadcast live on Star Sports Khel, Star Sports 2 Tamil, and streamed on JioHotstar.

Both teams arrive in the final riding the high of narrow, high-pressure semi-final wins against last year’s finalists. Jaipur Patriots edged out table-toppers Dabang Delhi TTC 8-7 in a thrilling first semi-final, while U Mumba TT staged a dramatic Golden Point comeback to dethrone defending champions Dempo Goa Challengers by the same scoreline.

When these two teams met during the league stage, it was Jaipur who came out on top in yet another 8-7 cliffhanger. Britt Eerland sealed that tie in the final rubber, after crucial singles wins from Sreeja Akula, Kanak Jha, and Jeet Chandra. U Mumba, however, swept the mixed doubles in straight games and will look to use that pairing advantage again on Sunday.

Jaipur Patriot’s surge this season has been anchored by their core. Sreeja Akula remains unbeaten, with six match wins from six—a league-best record. Kanak Jha enters the final on a four-match winning streak, while Jeet Chandra has looked increasingly sharp when called upon. Yashansh Malik, handed a high-pressure role in the semi-final against Sathiyan, delivered big with a decisive 2-1 win.

U Mumba, meanwhile, arrive with momentum and belief. Bernadette Szocs and Yashaswini Ghorpade are both on three-match winning runs, with Ghorpade pulling off one of the most clutch performances of the season to seal their semi-final victory.

Lilian Bardet’s attacking game has kept opponents on the back foot throughout the league, while the Szocs-Akash Pal pairing has delivered four wins in six mixed doubles outings.

Whether it’s Jaipur’s all-conquering run or U Mumba’s grit under pressure that prevails, UTT 2025 will have a fresh name on its honour roll.
