Satwiksairaj and Chirag script history by winning men's doubles title

Star doubles pair of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty on Sunday broke a 58-year-old drought, becoming the first Indians after Dinesh Khanna to be crowned champions at the Asia badminton Championships in Dubai. They defeated eighth-seeded Malaysian pair Teo Ee Yi and Ong Yew Sin in the final. They beat Ong Sin Yew and Teo Ee Yi 16-21, 21-17, and 21-19. Satwik and Chirag, who claimed the Swiss Open Super 300 title in Basel, showed tremendous grit as they never gave up after losing the first game and being 7-13 and 11-15 in the second and third game to secure the first gold for India in doubles. Besides the Asia Championships title, Satwik and Chirag also won the 2022 Commonwealth Games and five career titles on the BWF World Tour.

It is yet another milestone for India's premier men's doubles duo as they clinch India's second-ever Badminton Asia Championships title after Dinesh Khanna in 1965. Khanna is the only Indian to claim the gold medal, having achieved the feat when he beat Thailand's Sangob Rattanusorn in the men's singles final in 1965 at Lucknow. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while congratulating the Indian duo, said in a tweet that he is proud of Satwiksairaj and Chirag Shetty for writing history by becoming the first Indian men's doubles pair to win the Badminton Asia Championships title. The Prime Minister also wished them the very best for their future endeavours.
