Anahat Singh and Veer Chotrani Propel India Into World Squash Arena
The dust has just settled at the Asian qualifiers, yet the echoes of victory resonate loud and clear across India’s squash community. Anahat Singh, only 17 years old, has achieved a feat many players only dream of — securing a place in the prestigious World Squash Championships in Chicago, USA. This achievement places her as India’s sole representative in the women’s singles division.
Anahat Singh: A Rising Star
Anahat’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. An Asian Games bronze medalist, she navigated her way through fierce competition in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, demonstrating resilience and determination. Her crowning moment came as she triumphed over Hong Kong’s Toby Tse in a 3-1 victory after battling through the qualifiers without dropping a single game.
This success is not just individual glory; it places Anahat on a global stage, going head-to-head with formidable opponents like England’s Katie Maliff. Anahat’s participation is a testament to her burgeoning potential and a broader narrative of India’s evolving squash landscape.
Veer Chotrani: Another Feather in the Cap
Alongside Anahat, Veer Chotrani’s qualification is a testament to his prowess and tenacity. The 23-year-old secured his spot by defeating Malaysia’s local favourite Ameeshenraj Chandaran in a decisive 3-0 showdown. Veer’s upcoming challenge will be against the Englishman Declan James, and as the stakes rise, so do the expectations from this talented player.
Indian Men’s Representation
India’s representation isn’t confined to these young mavericks alone. Joining Veer in Chicago are seasoned players Ramit Tandon, Abhay Singh, and Velavan Senthilkumar. Each brings a unique flair to the competition, with Tandon facing Japan’s Ryunosuke Tsukue and Senthilkumar bracing himself for a match against the world champion Diego Elias from Peru.
A New Chapter for Indian Squash
With Anahat and Veer leading the charge, the World Squash Championships 2025 promise to be a stage where Indian talents can shine brightly. These players stand at the cusp of greatness, ready to etch their names alongside legends and continue the legacy of Indian squash on an international platform.
According to LatestLY, this development marks a significant moment for India’s sports scene. With dedication and skill, Anahat and Veer are not just participating; they’re setting the stage for what could be a legendary chapter in Indian squash history.
