Lucknow, May 27 (Ians) Chitkara University blanked out Chandigarh University 3-0, and Srm University thrashed Bengal’s Adamas University with a similar score in their respective finals of the Khelo India University Games 2022 at the Bbd Badminton Hall here on Saturday.
Though the winners from the North have retained the men’s team trophy without breaking a sweat, the team from the South made history by winning their maiden title in Kiug 2022, eroding the base of Adamas from the East, winner of gold in the last edition held in Bengaluru.
In the final of the men’s team competition, Yashansh Malik provided the impetus with a 3-1 win over Chandigarh varsity’s Divyansh Srivastava in the first rubber. Both executed their shots well. But the tall Yashansh negotiated well, and his placements proved apt. Even the long rallies were of no avail, as the Chitkara paddler won.
