Ahmedabad responded with a spirited 2–1 win in the mixed doubles, as Walther and Ayhika Mukherjee edged past Jeet Chandra and Eerland in a tight contest. But Jeet returned with focus and fire in the men’s singles, producing one of the standout performances of the season. He took the opener against Walther on Golden Point, dropped the second narrowly, and then dug deep to seal the decider 11–9 securing arguably his biggest win in the IndianOil UTT.
With the result already secured, Sreeja Akula wrapped up the night by rallying from a game down to defeat Ayhika Mukherjee 2–1, ensuring a dominant final margin for Jaipur.
Jeet was deservingly named Indian Player of the Tie and also picked up the Shot of the Tie award. Eerland’s clinical display earned her the Foreign Player of the Tie honour.
