Indian men have claimed the team championship Gold Medal in the 20th Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships. They beat England 3-1 in the final at Surat Friday. The women squad, however, had to satisfy themselves with the Silver Medal after losing to Singapore 1-3 in the final. The Indian men paddlers have done it only second time in 20 editions of the championships, having won Gold in 2004 in Malaysia under Sharath Kamal, who went on to win his individual Gold, too. England came into the competition without their star player, world no.64 Liam Pitchford and 66-th ranked veteran Paul Drinkhall. The Indians, on the other hand, did not have their top player Sharath, who was forced out of the event after suffering a freak accident in Germany. For the women, this was the fourth occasion to claim Silver. They had won the white metal in 1975, 1983 and 1991.
