India created history by winning its maiden Squash World Cup title in December 2025, defeating top-seeded Hong Kong 3–0 in the final held at Chennai. With this victory, India became the first Asian nation to lift the prestigious mixed-team Squash World Cup trophy.
The final, played on 14 December 2025 at the Express Avenue Mall, saw a dominant all-round performance by the Indian team. Joshna Chinappa’s experience, Abhay Singh’s composure, Anahat Singh’s fearless play, and Velavan Senthilkumar’s consistency were key to India’s unbeaten run in the tournament. Entering as the second seed, India did not drop a single tie throughout the competition, upgrading its bronze medal from 2023 to gold.
The victory is a major milestone for Indian sports and significantly boosts the country’s profile in squash ahead of the sport’s Olympic debut at the Los Angeles 2028 Games.
