Two days before the final showdown, Puneri Paltan's Manush Shah stunned World No. 17 Quadri Aruna of U Mumba to see his side reach the semi-final. These are not just the wins on the board for the respective teams, this is a massive win for the UTT and for Indian Table Tennis. Shah admits it was a surreal experience for him.

That is a good sign for Indian table tennis and the young upcoming players," Shah told this daily.
