Bihar’s rising stars, Sanjeev Kumar and Anshu Kumari, have brought immense pride to their state and nation, securing gold medals in their respective categories at the prestigious 9th South Asian Atya Patya Championship 2025.
Their stellar performances underscore the growing talent and dedication within India’s Atya Patya community, particularly from the state of Bihar. Atya Patya, a traditional South Asian tag sport, demands agility, strategy, and teamwork, and both Sanjeev and Anshu demonstrated these qualities in abundance on their path to victory.
Sanjeev Kumar’s dominant play in the men’s event saw him outmaneuver formidable opponents from across the South Asian region, ultimately clinching the coveted gold medal. Similarly, Anshu Kumari showcased exceptional skill and determination in the women’s category, rising to the top of a highly competitive field to secure her gold.
Their victories are a testament to their rigorous training and the support from their coaches and the Atya Patya associations in Bihar. These gold medals not only add to India’s tally at the championship but also serve as an inspiration for aspiring Atya Patya players back home. The achievement highlights Bihar’s significant contribution to the sport on the regional stage.
