Indore, Feb. 4 -- The opening day of the UTT 86th Cadet and Sub-Junior National Championships at the Abhay Prashal Indoor Hall saw unexpected twists in the Youth Boys Under-15 team events, causing trouble for several teams in the group stage on Tuesday.
However, the pre-tournament favourites-West Bengal, PSPBA, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Haryana-maintained their dominance, staying in control as group leaders based on their top players' rankings.
The only exception was Group G, where Assam faced a setback, losing 2-3 to TTFI 1 (Rajasthan), leaving them to battle in the third round later in the evening for the remaining qualifying spot.
