Jash Modi
Only few days ago Jash displayed his great form, while playing in the annual Inter Club 1st division TT league of Mumbai Suburban District, when he went on to beat men’s no. 1 , 2 and 7th seed. Earlier this year Jash won Silver medal in the team event at the Oman Junior and cadet Open TT Championship. So, it seems that the year 2018 is lucky for him. His father and mentor Amit Modi is more than happy with the present progress of his son.
In the 1st State ranking TT Championship, Jash bagged the Sub Jr. Boys title, when he defeated Sameehan Kulkarni , also from Mumbai 4-1 . In his earlier rounds played till quarter finals, Jash did not lose a single game. The only one game he lost was in the semi finals against Havish Asrani, whom he defeated 4-1.
