India's Anahat Singh scripted history by becoming the country's first squash player to win the junior world title after defeating Egypt's Ruqayya Salem 3-0 in the girls' singles final of the World Squash Junior Championships 2026 on Saturday. The top-seeded Anahat, India's No. 1 player, overcame second seed Salem 11-3, 11-7, 11-9 to claim the historic title and surpass Joshna Chinappa's runner-up finish in 2005, which had remained India's best performance at the Junior World Championships for more than two decades.
