The Pickleball Association of Gujarat (PAG), under the All India Pickleball Association (AIPA), is set to host a historic edition of the LGT Wealth India Gujarat Masters 2025 in Vadodara from March 21 to 23. With over 250 players competing across 29 categories, this event marks the largest state-level pickleball tournament in Gujarat’s history, reflecting the sport’s rapid growth in the region.
Boasting a prize pool of more than ₹5 lakh, the Gujarat Masters is more than just a competition—it represents a significant step in positioning pickleball as one of the fastest-growing and most inclusive sports in the state and across India.
The PAG, led by a team of experienced former athletes and ITF tennis veterans, has been instrumental in promoting the sport. Key figures such as Saurabh Trivedi, Ronak Mehta, Rahul Vora, Shaleen Bhatt, and cricketer Mrugesh Kothari bring their expertise and dedication to the association’s vision of nurturing world-class pickleball talent.
Commenting on the landmark event, Saurabh Trivedi, President of PAG, stated:
“The Gujarat Masters is a game-changer for pickleball in India. With record-breaking participation, it’s not just Gujarat’s biggest pickleball tournament—it’s a statement of the sport’s growing momentum. Our goal is to create a strong, sustainable ecosystem where players can compete, develop, and gain national and international exposure.”
To accelerate talent development, PAG has introduced a Player Sponsorship Program to provide financial and training support to promising athletes. Additionally, PAG Labs, an upcoming high-performance training and mentorship initiative, will be launched under the guidance of internationally acclaimed coach Radhika Trivedi and AIPA Head Coach Bhupendra ji.
With these efforts, Gujarat is emerging as a key hub for pickleball in India, paving the way for aspiring athletes to transition from grassroots to the global stage. The Gujarat Masters 2025 is more than a competition—it’s a springboard for the country’s future pickleball champions.

Sports
Sport includes all forms of competitive physical activity or games which,through casual or organized participation, at least in part aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators.Sports can bring positive results to one's physical health. Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals. In certain sports such as racing, many contestants may compete, simultaneously or consecutively, with one winner; in others, the contest (a match) is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other. Some sports allow a "tie" or "draw", in which there is no single winner; others provide tie-breaking methods to ensure one winner and one loser. A number of contests may be arranged in a tournament producing a champion. Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games in a regular sports season, followed in some cases by playoffs.
Sport is generally recognised as system of activities which are based in physical athleticism or physical dexterity, with the largest major competitions such as the Olympic Games admitting only sports meeting this definition,and other organisations such as the Council of Europe using definitions precluding activities without a physical element from classification as sports.However, a number of competitive, but non-physical, activities claim recognition as mind sports. The International Olympic Committee (through ARISF) recognises both chess and bridge as bona fide sports, and SportAccord, the international sports federation association, recognises five non-physical sports: bridge, chess, draughts (checkers), Go and xiangqi,and limits the number of mind games which can be admitted as sports.
Sport is usually governed by a set of rules or customs, which serve to ensure fair competition, and allow consistent adjudication of the winner. Winning can be determined by physical events such as scoring goals or crossing a line first. It can also be determined by judges who are scoring elements of the sporting performance, including objective or subjective measures such as technical performance or artistic impression.
Records of performance are often kept, and for popular sports, this information may be widely announced or reported in sport news. Sport is also a major source of entertainment for non-participants, with spectator sport drawing large crowds to sport venues, and reaching wider audiences through broadcasting. Sport betting is in some cases severely regulated, and in some cases is central to the sport.
According to A.T. Kearney, a consultancy, the global sporting industry is worth up to $620 billion as of 2013.The world's most accessible and practised sport is running, while association football is the most popular spectator sport.
