SQUASHING SUCCESS (DIPIKA PALLIKAL, JOSHANA CHINAPPA, SAURAV GHOSAL & HARINDER SANDHU)
2014 was a watershed year for Indian squash. Firstly, the combine of Dipika Pallikal and Joshana Chinappa pocketed India's first-ever CWG gold. The Tamil Nadu girls promise much in the coming year too. At Incheon, Saurav Ghosal choked on the cusp of history, missing out on an individual gold, when he lost to Kuwait's Abdullah Al-Muzayen in the final after leading by two games. He also squandered a match point.
But the 28-year-old made up for the heartbreak by leading the Indian team of Kush Kumar, Mahesh Mangaonkar and Harinder Pal Sandhu to a maiden Asian Games gold.
