Nurjahan Noorali Jamani, an athlete funded by Adani Sportsline Garv Hai, won the Women’s Class 7 title at the Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT) Para Senior Table Tennis National Championship 2025–2026. The victory promotes her to India No. 1 in the category.
Nurjahan advanced from Class 6, where she was ranked World No. 12, to Class 7 after an international medical reclassification. The change put her in a more competitive field and reset her global ranking to World No. 28. She defeated Dhwani Shah 3-1 in the final after moving smoothly through the knockout stages.
Nurjahan, who is now ranked eighth in Asia, wants to get in the top six in order to qualify for the Asian Para Games later this year. To improve her rating, she will participate in the next international competitions in Italy, Spain, and other circuits.
