*PUNE / NEW DELHI:* In a major boost for Maharashtra’s sports fraternity, Tejas Manoj Patil, a student of MIT Art, Design and Technology (MIT-ADT) University, Pune, has been selected to represent the Indian Men’s Foil Fencing team at the upcoming Asian Games in Japan.

The official squad was recently announced by the selection committee of the Fencing Association of India. The final roster was decided based on national rankings and solid performances in top-tier events, including the Asian Senior Fencing Championship, World Championship, and Commonwealth Fencing Championship.

He previously represented India at the prestigious Foil Grand Prix in Shanghai, China, and the Commonwealth Fencing Championship in Lagos, Nigeria, clinching two Silver and one Bronze medal.
