After a six-year wait for the championship, Vikram is optimistic about their chances, citing a strong team that includes former champions from badminton and squash. He believes that Racketlon's growth hinges on institutional support and its introduction in schools, which could attract more players and provide job security through sports. Currently, Racketlon is not an Olympic sport, which limits government support, but its inclusion in the World Games marks progress. Vikram acknowledges that India is emerging in Racketlon, competing against stronger teams from Europe.
