The Story in Brief
India’s Suraj Kumar Chand won the men’s singles title at the 2026 FISU World University Championship Squash. He defeated Hungary’s Benedek Takacs in a five-game final, according to NDTV Sports. The victory gives Chand the university-level world championship in men’s singles after a closely fought contest.
The result marks India’s success in the event, with Chand overcoming Takacs across five games. NDTV Sports described the final as thrilling, but the report did not provide the game scores or details of the deciding game.
The Indian Opinion
The easy storyline is to treat one university title as proof that Indian squash has arrived at the highest level. That would overreach the result. Chand’s win is a clear achievement, but its wider value will depend on whether he can convert it into sustained success beyond this competition. His next results on the senior circuit will be the fairest test.
