In the rich legacy of Indian table tennis, two names stand out for their unmatched dominance in the National Table Tennis Championships — A. Sharath Kamal and Indu Puri.
A. Sharath Kamal
The undisputed king of the men’s circuit, A. Sharath Kamal holds the record for the most men’s singles titles at the Nationals, with nine championships to his name. His journey of excellence began in the early 2000s and has continued through a glittering career marked by consistency, power, and poise.
Indu Puri
In the women’s category, Indu Puri etched her name in history by claiming eight singles titles — in 1972, 1975, and an incredible streak from 1979 to 1984. Her sharp play and tactical acumen made her a trailblazer for generations of female paddlers in India.
Together, their achievements are benchmarks of excellence and continue to inspire aspiring players across the country.
