Young table tennis sensation Soumyajit Ghosh feels his strategy to avoid undue pressure worked well for him in the tournament and bagged him the National crown at such a young age.

The 19-year-old Ghosh, who competed in the London Olympics last year, overpowered the experienced Achantha Sharath Kamal 4-2 to win his maiden National title on Saturday.
“I am very happy. It’s an awesome feeling. It feels really good to beat a great player like him (Sharath),” Ghosh.

“I was confident going into the tournament as a number one ranked player. But I did not want to take any pressure on myself,” he said adding that he was up for the tough challenge as he had prepared hard both physically and mentally.
