Teen sensation Anahat Singh etched her name in the history books on Saturday, becoming the first Indian athlete to win the junior world squash title following a clinical 3-0 victory against Egypt's Ruqayya Salem in the girls' singles final at the World Squash Junior Championships 2026.

Entering as the top seed and India's highest-ranked player, the 18-year-old dispatched second seed Salem 11-3, 11-7, 11-9 to seal the win. In doing so, she surpassed Joshna Chinappa's silver-medal run from 2005, which had stood as India's benchmark result at the event for over twenty years.
