Anmol Kharb, all of 16 years of age, was on the verge of reaching her first final of the 85th Senior National badminton championships at the Deshbhakta Tarun Ram Phookan Indoor Stadium in Guwahati recently.
Leading 20-17 in the second game after pocketing the first against Ashmita Chaliha of Petroleum, the tournament’s second seed, Anmol was cruising along merrily.
In a sudden comeback, Asmita (24), one of the most talented players tipped to do well for India at the International level in the years to come, saved two match points.
