Finally some good news for Mumbai sports lovers! Otters Club always hosts quality tournaments. Can't wait to see the women's categories this time. Go girls! 🙌
Impressive numbers for a squash tournament! The Avaada Group partnership seems genuine about youth development. Would love to see more corporate backing for niche sports in India.
Good initiative but I wish the tournament was more accessible to spectators. Bandra traffic is terrible during May. 🚗 They should arrange better parking or livestream the matches online.
Love that they're focusing on grassroots development. "Building character through sport" - that's exactly what India needs. 🇮🇳 Hope the prize money is decent too!
Excellent preparation for the Asian Games! We need more such tournaments to build our national squad. Happy to see Otters Club leading the way. Wishing all players the best! 🏆
