Story

This match was never about power.

Tony Alex (Trident Automation) brought patience.

Krishnendu Dandapat (IISC) brought calculation.

The opening game unfolded like a negotiation — long rallies, cautious smashes, minimal risk. Krishnendu edged ahead late.

Tony responded in the second, stepping closer to the net and speeding up exchanges. The momentum swung again.

The decider became mental warfare.

At 18-all, every lift felt dangerous. Every return carried consequence. One misjudged push was all it took — and Krishnendu seized it.

Not with force.

With precision.

Closing Line

Some victories are loud. Others echo longer.
