All India Inter - University Squash Championship 2008

MUMBAI University are the champions: Chennai (30^th Dec 2008)  

University of Mumbai defeated University of Delhi 3-2 in the final of the all-India inter-university squash men’s team championship, avenging its defeat in last year’s final at Mumbai against the same opponent. 

The clash ended with a little bitter, but enthralling match between Mumbai’s Kunwarpal Singh and Delhi’s Varun Prakash, both of whom arguing constantly with the referee over obstruction calls.  

The final game of the match was one sided affair as Kunwarpal destroyed Varun 11-3.  The first four games were neck to neck fight. Varun’s tendency to find the tin in tackling balls above his waist and to go over the side out-lines in playing his lobs, which had shown itself intermittently till then, cost him heavily.  

Delhi had lost the first two matches quite easily, with Raghav Behl and Prateek Chalia beaten by Laxman Joshi and Cyrus Vakil. 

But Delhi had come back from a similar situation in winning its semi final against Anna and demonstrated its bounciness again. 

Gunraj Singh began the revival with a 3-1 win over Nitin Chauhan, and Uday Das prevailed over Arun Sharma.

All India Inter - University Squash Championship 2004

Mumbai regain varsity crown
By: A Mid Day Correspondent
September 28, 2004

Formidable Mumbai University expected a strong challenge from arch-rivals Delhi.

Instead, what the former champions got was an easy triumph that helped the hosts regain the All India Inter University Squash title at the Bombay Gymkhana glass back courts yesterday. Mumbai, who won a hat-trick of titles from 2000-2002, thrashed defending champions Delhi 3-0.

“It turned out to be pretty easy,” explained a delighted Mumbai captain Supreet Singh. “They missed their three top players which made a big difference to their fortunes. It certainly would have been a close contest otherwise.”

A depleted Delhi played without key players, Gaurav Nandrajog, Dhruv Dhawan and Yashvardhan Singh and none in the Mumbai squad were really tested.

“But I was particularly impressed with Bipin Batra, who played a good opening game in the final. We also had depth in our team, with the strongest third, fourth and fifth players. We know each others games and we came together very well,” revealed Supreet Singh.

For Delhi skipper Prashant Paritosh the disappointment was hard to palate and it was very transparent.

“As expected, we reached the final, but we had hoped to give Mumbai a harder time. We missed our key players very badly. We’ve beaten them in the past and there was nothing special about this (Mumbai) team,” said Paritosh.

Results:

University of Mumbai bt Delhi Univ 3-0
Bipin Batra bt Prashant Paritosh 9-7, 9-2, 9-5;
Vikash Jangra bt Karan Singh 9-0, 9-3, 9-4;
