Home favourite Saurav Ghosal put up a dazzling display to down top seed Marwan Elshorbagy of Egypt in less than an hour to clinch the JSW Indian Squash Circuit Kolkata International here today.
With a boisterous crowd support, Ghosal was on fire from the first serve, setting a punishing pace that had the bigger player scrambling to keep up as he won 11-7, 11-2, 11-7 in minutes.
Ghosal was aided by a couple of strokes in the first game, and spent the next two keeping the higher ranked Elshorbagy from getting in his shots.
As the Egyptiqn grew more frustrated, his game saw more errors, and while he gave Ghosal some trouble with his lengths, could not manage to get a rhythm going against the local favourite.
Ghosal took home his first 35k tournament win on home turf to uproarious applause.
