Manika Batra has emerged as the face of Indian table tennis, achieving unprecedented success on the international stage. Batra’s rise to prominence began at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, where she became the first Indian woman to win a singles gold medal in table tennis.
Since then, Batra has continued to push the boundaries, winning multiple international titles and leading India to historic victories at the Asian Games and other prestigious tournaments. Her unique playing style, characterized by her long pimpled rubber, makes her a tricky opponent for even the best players in the world.
Batra’s success has helped elevate the status of table tennis in India, inspiring a new generation of players. As she prepares for the Paris 2024 Olympics, Batra remains focused on bringing home more glory for India.
