Pickleball, a game that blends the essence of tennis, badminton, and table tennis has taken the city by storm with more and more Amdvadis picking up the paddle. In fact, Ahmedabad leads the country in pickleball in terms of number of players and courts and is set to host the World Pickleball Championship (WPC) from October 23 to 27 this year.

Those associated with the game say one reason for its popularity is that it is age agnostic and hence can be played by people in any age group as it requires less movement and running compared to other sports.
