Back from a strenuous training stint in China, coach Bhawani Mukherjee is confident that the Indian women paddlers will make a strong statement in the upcoming Commonwealth Table Tennis Championships. The event will start in New Delhi on May 5.The women paddlers had been performing below par at some recent international competitions. This compelled the federation to arrange a training camp at the Zhengding Training Base in China for the upcoming Commonwealth championships at home. The home is immediately followed by the World Championship in Paris. The area of focus for the players was to improve on long rallies besides working on foot work and service.In charge of the women's team, Mukherjee seems convinced that the girls would draw from the experience in the upcoming events.The Indian quartet of reigning national champion K Shamini, Mouma Das, Madhurika Patkar and Neha Aggarwal will be leading India's challenge in the competition to be played at the Thyagaraj's stadium in New Delhi.As India prepares to host the Commonwealth Championships for the record fifth time, Mukherjee hopes to improve on the seven medals (one gold, two silver and four bronze) the Indians bagged in Glasgow, Scotland in 2009.
