India have exited the 2025 Asian Table Tennis Team Championships in Bhubaneswar after both the men’s and women’s teams bowed out in the quarterfinals. On October 13, 2025, the men’s team suffered a 0–3 defeat against Hong Kong, bringing an abrupt end to their campaign. Meanwhile, in the women’s quarterfinals, India lost 2–3 to Singapore, extinguishing their medal hopes. Indian stars Manika Batra and Yashaswini Ghorpade each claimed a win, but Diya Chitale lost both her matches under pressure, tipping the tie in Singapore’s favour. The women’s team had also been hit by misfortune earlier, when Sreeja Akula, one of India’s top paddlers, was ruled out due to a hand injury just before the tournament began. The double exit is a stark reminder of the challenges Indian table tennis faces at the continental level, especially in converting individual talent into consistent team success. #AsianTableTennis2025 #IndiaTableTennis #TeamIndia #SportsUpdate #ManikaBatra #YashaswiniGhorpade #WomenInSports #ContinentalChampionships #NewsOne
