Sharath Kamal performs creditably at maiden Table Tennis World Cup

Sharath Kamal finished second in one of the toughest groups at the World Cup Table Tennis tournament in Belgium. Nevertheless, a good performance in a consistent year in which he still has a great winning record in the European league matches and thus has the best record for his club team this year.

Both Tang Peng (Hong Kong) and William Henzell (Australia) are seasoned players and have brought great moments for their respective countries.

If Sharath continues to play at this level, it is certain that he will break into the elite players' club.

We've sent the wishes that we had received. Thanks!
