The Indian team was well represented at the event, with four players, including debutant Bitupan Rabha, showcasing their skills on the international stage.
Though Bittu Das and Karina Patowary from Assam were part of the four-member under-15 India team for the U-25 Asian Championships 2024, they were unable to bring home any medals in their maiden international appearance.
