Leszek Kucharski will start his stint as India's Table Tennis coach. He will train his new wards at Patiala.

Kucharski is a former world class player from Poland and takes over as India's coach after a decent gap. Massimo Constantini's term ended after the Guangzhou Asian Games last year. Anders Johansson had shown interest but backed out at the last minute.

It is rumoured that TTFI is paying a handsome salary to Kucharski.
