New Indian Express  

CHENNAI: Chennai Lions will look to make use of their home advantage and reclaim the title they last won in 2019 in the Ultimate Table Tennis being held at the Jawaharlal Nehru Indoor Stadium here. The 2024 edition will see the addition of two new franchises — Ahmedabad SG Pipers and Jaipur Patriots — making the competition an eight-team one. And he's in good form, having won three titles — U-17, U-19 and men's category — in the first first four TNTTA State Ranking tournaments held for 2024 season. The modest and bubbly youngster believes that UTT would help him evolve as a better player as he will get an opportunity to play and interact with some of the best players in the game.
