And before that, he wrote history along with his other compatriots in the Men's Table Tennis team contest winning gold against a mighty Singapore lineup. 

The odds of Sharath winning the final were less after he faced a defeat in the singles match of the team fixtures in the final against Singapore, but he showed that his class displayed an experienced and sharp win in the final. Sharath Kamal Achanta lost to Zhe Yu Clarence 3-1 in the best of five clashes to level things.
