Harish Gandhi and Harvinder Singh won the 50+ Men’s Doubles title at the Chandigarh State Selection Trials, an Indian Pickleball Association (IPA) sanctioned PWR 200 event, in Chandigarh on November 14.
Harish and Harvinder defeated Manmohan S Khokher and Narinder Sahni 11-9, 11-8 in the final to win the title at the Road to IPA Nationals event.
The duo held their nerve in a closely contested final, winning both games to secure the championship. Their victory marked a significant achievement in the 50+ Men’s Doubles category.
The State Selection Trials will determine the players representing the Union Territory at the IPA Nationals, to be held later this year. The event provides participants with an opportunity to compete for a place in the national contingent while earning valuable PWR ranking points.
