Bronze at World C'ships feels like redemption, says Chirag
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: "It feels like redemption," says Chirag Shetty, one half of the celebrated SatChi combo that ensured that India did not go medal-less at the just-concluded World Badminton Championship in Paris, the city where the two endured the biggest heartbreak of their career.
Chirag and his longtime partner Satwiksairaj Rankireddy won the men's doubles bronze last week. The world No. 9 pair notched up a commanding win over Malaysia's two-time Olympic medallists Aaron Chia and Soh Wooi Yik in the quarterfinals to secure what was their second World Championships medal.
However, their bid to become the first Indian men's doubles pair to reach the final ended with a defeat to China's 11th seeds Chen Bo Yang and Liu Yi in the semifinals.
