Stavya Bhasin, Ammol Ramchandani Dominate 15-5 to Win Mumbai Grand Prix

Stavya Bhasin and Ammol Ramchandani closed out the Pickleball Now Grand Prix 2026 – Mumbai edition with a 15-5 victory over Shourya Kukreja and Aniruddha Dhariyawan in the men’s doubles final (match M-023), producing a one-sided finish that handed them the title.

After an early exchange of points, Stavya and Ammol took control at the net and never let the momentum slip. "After an early exchange of points, Stavya and Ammol began dictating rallies at the net. Their precise placements and quick interceptions forced repeated errors, steadily widening the margin." The champions’ net play and placement left Shourya and Aniruddha unable to find a rhythm as the score opened up quickly.

Stavya and Ammol reached the final by dominating their semifinal (match M-021), defeating Anay Patil and Maitreya Bhagat 11-1. The duo "controlled the tempo from the start and closed out the match comfortably," setting up the matchup with Shourya Kukreja and Aniruddha Dhariyawan, who had edged past Mayank Dharampuria and Tushar Singh 11-5 in semifinal M-022 by maintaining steady pressure through rallies.

Seventeen-year-old Stavya Bhasin arrived in Mumbai already marked as a rising talent. The 17-year-old IPA Nationals medallist in the men’s doubles category is listed with Capital Warriors Gurgaon and emerged as one of the standout youngsters of the inaugural season of the IPBL. Earlier league play saw him pair with Jack Munro; with Capital Warriors Gurgaon trailing 0-1 in one tie, Stavya "elevated his game, attacking fiercely and moving fluidly across the court," then helped Munro secure a 15-9 comeback win while still balancing Class 12 studies.

Ammol Ramchandani partnered with Stavya for the Mumbai Grand Prix title and appears in the official match photography alongside him; a published caption identified the winners as "Ammol Ramchandani (L) Stavya Bhasin (R) won the men's doubles final." The pairing turned that chemistry into a clinical knockout phase across the Mumbai event, culminating in the decisive 15-5 scoreline in M-023.

The Pickleball Now Grand Prix uses different scoring between phases: Round Robin matches use rally point format to 15 in single-set matches, while the knockout stage switches to serve point format with 11-point single sets and no golden point rule. Stavya and Ammol’s performance in the knockout phase, an 11-1 semifinal followed by a 15-5 final, underlined how their net dominance and quick interceptions translated across both scoring formats and delivered the headline result of the Mumbai edition.
