The prestigious event, held at the Express Avenue Mall in <strong>Chennai, Tamil Nadu<\/strong>, saw the Indian mixed squash team defeat <strong>top-seeded Hong Kong 3-0<\/strong> in the final \u2014 a performance that captivated the nation and marked India\u2019s most significant achievement in squash team competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the opening rubber of the final, veteran <strong>Joshna Chinappa<\/strong> gave India an early advantage by defeating world No. 37 <strong>Lee Ka Yi<\/strong> 3-1 (7-3, 2-7, 7-5, 7-1), showcasing her experience and tactical mastery.  Following this, <strong>Abhay Singh<\/strong>, India\u2019s top-ranked male player (No. 29), dominated his match against Alex Lau with a straight-games victory of 3-0 (7-1, 7-4, 7-4).

Advancing to the knockout rounds, they secured a 3-0 win against South Africa in the quarterfinals and then stunned two-time champions <strong>Egypt 3-0<\/strong> in the semifinals \u2014 a significant upset that showcased India\u2019s growing prowess in world squash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Nationwide Celebration and Leadership Appreciation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Prime Minister <strong>Narendra Modi<\/strong> lauded the Indian squash team\u2019s performance, calling it a \u201chistoric achievement\u201d and emphasizing that such victories inspire the nation\u2019s youth and boost the popularity of squash across India.
