India’s table tennis ace A. Sharath Kamal delivered a phenomenal performance at the South Asian Federation (SAF) Games 2006—now known as the South Asian Games—by clinching four gold medals, marking one of the most dominant campaigns by an Indian paddler at the regional level.

Held in Colombo, Sri Lanka, in August 2006, Sharath Kamal secured top honors in:

Men’s Team Event

Men’s Singles

Men’s Doubles

Mixed Doubles

His golden sweep not only showcased his versatility across formats but also cemented his reputation as a powerhouse of Indian and South Asian table tennis.

Sharath’s performance was instrumental in propelling India to the top of the table tennis medal tally at the event and laid the groundwork for India’s rising presence in international table tennis in the years to follow.
