The Morning Standard

RAO brothers — Srinivasa Rao and Muralidhara Rao are among the finest coaches in the country who have helped scores of table tennis players make a mark.

SHOTS, SMASHES, AND SUCCESS

Srini-vasa, a Dronacharya awardee and father of Sharath Kamal, has always insisted upon imparting the right basics to his wards. Sixteen year-old paddler Nikkhil Menon, who trained in Chennai, is the latest to benefit from the tutelage of Rao brothers. Menon delivered a stellar performance to clinch the gold medal in the Under-17 category at the World youth Contender Table Tennis Championship 2026, held in Manama, Bahrain. In doing so, he reinforced his position as one of India’s brightest young talents in the sport.
