Phantom Stars wins inaugural Table Tennis Super League Maharashtra
Phantom Stars capped off a dominant campaign by clinching the inaugural Table Tennis Super League (TTSL) Maharashtra title with a flawless triumph, winning all seven ties across the league and knockout stages, including a commanding 14-8 victory in the final against PBG Pune Jaguars on Sunday.
The league also spotlighted the next generation of table tennis talent in Maharashtra, with teenagers Divyanshi Bhowmick (PBG Pune Jaguars) and Prateek Tulsani (Mumbai Mozartt) being named Best Women’s and Men’s Players, overall.
“The victory could have been sweeter had our team won the title, but nevertheless, it was a terrific experience playing for PBG Pune Jaguars and I really can’t wait for the next edition to happen,” said 14-year-old Bhowmick, who came into TTSL Maharashtra after competing in the main draw of WTT Star Contender Chennai 2025.
