Raghav Shinde was crowned the champion of the men’s singles Division 3 at the GoRally Super League 2025 in Bengaluru on Sunday. The PWR 400 tournament, sanctioned by the Indian Pickleball Association (IPA), saw Shinde outlast his opponent, Arun TD, in the final. Shinde clinched the title in straight games, winning with a decisive scoreline of 11-4, 11-4. He was highly effective at controlling the Non-Volley Zone. By consistently hitting low, soft dinks and punishing any high returns, Shinde prevented Arun from getting into a rhythm or executing attacking volleys. His superior control limited Arun’s ability to earn points. He also kept Arun under pressure through deep serves, precise returns, well-placed dinks, and timely speed-ups, forcing Arun to commit numerous unforced errors. The event, which attracted players from across the region, was hosted across two Bengaluru venues: GR Indiranagar and GR Jayamahal. The GoRally Super League concluded a breakout season for Indian pickleball, culminating in a thrilling Finals Sunday.
