Manika Batra
At the young age of 23, Manika Batra has already taken huge leaps of success, getting well-deserved recognition this year. In Commonwealth Games 2018, Batra led the Indian women’s table tennis team to its first-ever finals victory. The team bagged a gold medal, defeating the standing champions, Singapore.
She also won a silver, along with Mouma Das in the doubles for CWG 2018, another first feat. Not only that, but Manika also bagged the individual gold medal in the event. The young player has had an exceptionally good run in 2018, proving that our sportspersons have more than just Cricket in their veins.
