New Delhi: Heartiest congratulations to Brigadier Navneet Narain of the Indian Army for securing the Runner-Up position in the prestigious World Masters Racketlon Tournament held at the renowned Willingdon Sports Club, Mumbai, from 29 November to 01 December 2024. Brigadier Narain excelled in both the Singles and Doubles categories, showcasing remarkable talent and determination.
A serving officer posted at Army Headquarters, New Delhi, Brigadier Narain has brought immense pride to the nation with his outstanding performance in the World Masters Racketlon—a gruelling sport often referred to as the “Ironman of Racket Sports.” Racketlon comprises four demanding sports: Table Tennis, Badminton, Squash, and Lawn Tennis, testing the all-around capabilities of its participants.
Brigadier Narain’s stellar journey in the sport has been marked by consistent success. In October 2024, he clinched the titles in the Over-50 Singles and Doubles categories at the All India Racketlon Championship held at the same venue. Building on this triumph, his Runner-Up finish at the international level is a testament to his exceptional skill, perseverance, and adaptability.
This remarkable achievement reflects the indomitable spirit of the Indian Army. Brigadier Navneet Narain’s journey from excelling in squash—having represented India at the Asian Squash Championship in 2000—to becoming a formidable player in the highly competitive world of Racketlon, is truly inspiring.
Kudos to Brigadier Navneet Narain – a shining example of resilience and excellence.
