Shillong, Apr 17 (PTI) Promising Indian table tennis player Vishwa Deenadayalan of Tamil Nadu, who was on his way to Shillong to participate in the 83rd Senior National and Inter-State Championships, died in a road accident on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Deenadayalan was 18.<\/p>\n
He was travelling in a car along with his three teammates from Guwahati to Shillong when a 12-wheel trailer, coming from the opposite direction, ploughed through the road divider and hit the vehicle at Shangbangla and plunged into the gorge.<\/p>\n
According to a release issued by the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI), the driver died on the spot, while Deenadayalan was declared brought dead by the doctors of Nongpoh Civil Hospital.<\/p>\n
His teammates — Ramesh Santosh Kumar, Abinash Prasannaji Srinivasan and Kishore Kumar — suffered severe injuries but are currently stable.<\/p>\n
The organisers of the championships had rushed them to the North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS) in Shillong for critical care.<\/p>\n
“The team of doctors attending to them said the boys were stable,” the release said.<\/p>\n
Deenadayalan’s father and two of his family members will be arriving in Guwahati tonight and his embalmed body will be flown to Chennai on Monday morning.<\/p>\n
Deenadayalan, a promising player with several national ranking titles and international medals to his credit, was to represent India at the WTT Youth Contender at Linz, Austria, from April 27.<\/p>\n
A product of Krishnaswamy TT Club in Anna Nagar, he had come in for praise from none other than Sharath Kamal.<\/p>\n
Deenadayalan’s transition from cadet and sub-junior to junior section was steady. He had won the cadet and sub-junior national titles also.<\/p>\n
The B.Com student of Loyola College won the Under-19 Boys title during the Dehra Dun National Ranking Tournament this January.<\/p>\n
