He won golds in the 50+ singles and doubles category.  In the singles category he defeated Gurpreet singh 11-7, 11-6 in the finals. Partnering with Suhas Sharma, he won the veterans doubles category.

Speaking on his win, Dr Gill said he was excited to be able to show his patients that exercise was an essential part of one’s everyday routine in order to keep your knee and shoulders in good condition. He added that to keep ones Joints healthy, some sort of sporting activity was a must for the 50 + population. But a word of caution: At this age injury to knees and shoulders is common, so the person needs to work closely with a Bone and  joint specialist to prevent these. It is essential for professionals to take time out and exercise to keep their knees and shoulders in good shape. “In fact knee and shoulder pains can be cured with a structured exercise programme,” he added. “Instead of terming these categories as veterans, they should be categorized as Evergreen categories,” said Dr Gill.
