At 24, paddler Sreeja Akula has come a long way from training as a kid at the Global Table Tennis Academy where she learnt the basics under her mentor and coach Somnath Gosh.
Sreeja is now tipped as one of the medal hopes for India in the Commonwealth Games to be held in Birmingham this month end.
Sreeja, India’s No.1 in women’s singles, had a quiet, two-day training session with A. Sharath Kamal. The two will be playing in mixed doubles.
