BIRMINGHAM: "You know, when a child gets a report card at school and the teacher says, 'Can do better?' It's (about getting) those grades, you know?" These were Indian table tennis legend Sharath Kamal's words just after losing the men's doubles final at the 2022 CWG with his partner G Sathiyan.
Just like the 2018 Gold Coast Games, their nemesis at the final hurdle were once again Paul Drinkhall and Liam Pitchford. In a scintillating clash, the Englishmen emerged victors 8-11, 11-8, 11-3, 7-11, 11-4 to clinch back-to-back men's doubles CWG gold.
