Mumbai girl Diya Chitale, 18, who bagged the No. 1 ranking after winning her maiden UTT Senior National Ranking (Central Zone) Table Tennis Championships in Indore recently, has dedicated the medal to her late grandfather, Sudhir, 78, who passed away last year. 

“I wish my grandfather was around to see me win this medal. This would have meant a lot to him. He would have been very proud of me because he always encouraged me to play table tennis,” Chitale told mid-day recently.
