St. Stephen’s College congratulates Gurveer Singh, a first-year student of the B.A. Programme, on representing India and winning a bronze medal in the men’s team event at the World Squash Junior Championships 2026, held at Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada.

The fifth-seeded Indian team produced an impressive performance, defeating third-seeded England 2–1 in the quarterfinals to advance to the semifinals. This victory secured India its second consecutive bronze medal in the men’s junior team event—an important milestone for Indian squash.

In the semifinal against the United States, Gurveer played a gripping five-game match against Brendan Tagliarini. After taking a 2–1 lead, he was narrowly edged out in a contest lasting nearly an hour. India concluded the championship with a well-deserved bronze medal.

Gurveer’s performance at the age of 19 reflects his talent, determination, and potential to develop into a formidable all-round squash player for India and the College.

The College congratulates Gurveer and the Indian junior men’s team on this outstanding international achievement and wishes him continued success in his sporting journey.
