Om Pawar sweeps singles and doubles titles at Gurugram PWR 100

At the Franklin Avsoy North Cup PWR100 in Gurugram, Om Pawar owned the headline slot by winning both the men’s singles and men’s doubles titles, a clean sweep that showed why open-level pickleball is tightening fast in India.

Pawar’s singles final against Arthav turned on a reset after the second game. He took the opener 11-4, was pushed back 8-11, then steadied himself to close the match 11-7. In a PWR100 field where every point feeds the domestic hierarchy, that kind of response mattered as much as the trophy itself. Pawar did not just outplay Arthav, he answered a swing in momentum and finished the job under pressure.

He carried that same edge into doubles with Aditya Nandal. The pair had to work again after dropping the first game 9-11 to Aryan Chauhan and Apoorv Sharma, but once they settled in, the match flipped quickly. Pawar and Nandal levelled the final with an 11-6 second game and then closed it out 11-2 to add the doubles crown to Pawar’s singles title. The sequence made his weekend in Gurugram feel less like a hot streak than a test of whether one player could translate solo form into partnership success. He passed both tests.

The event also gave a clearer look at the next rung of India’s talent ladder. Shubham Khandelwal and Miheet Dhaneja won the U-18 boys’ doubles title at Pickle Up 4.0 PWR100, beating Mayank and Mudit 15-7. That result matters because it shows junior pairs are already operating inside structured PWR-ranked competition, not outside it. Their win added to the sense that India’s development pipeline is beginning to produce players who understand how to handle bracket play, pace and pressure before they reach open level.

That broader circuit context is what makes the Avsoy North Cup more than a weekend result sheet. India was expected to host more than 30 sanctioned tournaments in 2025, and the PWR-DUPR system was built as a unified ranking-and-tour framework to bring more order to the sport’s growth. In Gurugram, the model looked real: open champions, junior winners and a ladder that is starting to connect them in the same ecosystem. Pawar’s sweep and the U-18 standout results pointed to the same conclusion, that India’s pickleball future is being built event by event, point by point.
