India's most decorated table tennis player Sharath Kamal won his first international title in 10 years on Sunday, but midway into the competition, the paddler was forced to wonder if he made the mistake of his life by travelling to Oman amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
As the news of sporting events getting suspended or postponed around the world started trickling in, Sharath was in Muscat for the ITTF Challenge Plus event. The Polish Open happening around the same time was suspended and the world body announced suspension of all activities until the end of April. In these extraordinary times, confusion and chaos in the minds of the players was bound to follow. Sharath was in Muscat with other Indian players including singles number three Harmeet Desai.
