Thakurdas Rohira Secures 60+ Doubles Gold, Three Medals at Indian Masters

Veteran Thakurdas Rohira capped a dominant campaign at the Indian Masters PWR 400 in Ahmedabad by claiming three medals on the tournament’s final day, headlined by a crushing 15-2 victory in the 60+ men’s doubles final with partner Bhushan Akut. Rohira’s doubles pairing held Sharad Gangwar and Naharaj Subramanian to just two points in the title match at Dinkers Pickleball Academy, a scoreline that left little doubt about the duo’s rhythm and court control.

Rohira completed his podium sweep with bronze medals in the 60+ men’s singles and in the Split Age division, finishing the event with one gold and two bronzes. Photographs from the event show Rohira and Akut celebrating the doubles win on January 25, while coverage and result summaries were published later in the week. Rohira, described by organizers and observers as a stalwart of the senior circuit, spoke about the scale of the tournament in a conversation with Pickleball Now and advised younger players to "Be calm, be stable and do your best."

The 15-2 doubles final score is a stark statistical indicator of how effectively Rohira and Akut combined serving, return positioning and volley exchanges on the big points. That margin, along with Rohira’s multiple medals across formats, highlights the tactical adaptability required at masters-level events where experience and shot selection often trump raw athleticism. Rohira’s consistency across singles, doubles and Split Age competition demonstrates not just individual form but also effective partnership dynamics with Akut in doubles play.

Beyond the court, Rohira’s haul reinforces larger trends in Indian pickleball. The Indian Masters, sanctioned as a PWR 400 event, sits within the professionalized event ladder that is drawing broader national participation and deeper senior fields. Rohira’s performance has been described as one of the strongest displays in the tournament’s senior categories and is being framed as an inspiration to younger players who competed alongside veterans in mixed-age draws.

For coaches, club organizers and regional federations, the results spotlight the importance of supporting masters pathways and intergenerational competition; for fans, Rohira’s hat-trick offers a clear storyline as the PWR season progresses. Official results and ranking implications from the IPA and PWR standings will clarify how this haul affects season points, but for now Thakurdas Rohira’s three-medal day at Dinkers Pickleball Academy has reaffirmed that India’s masters scene is competitive, deepening and increasingly central to the sport’s domestic growth.
