India Open | Focus on Satwik-Chirag as shuttlers look to dazzle at home court

Expectations will be high as Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty spearhead the home challenge at the India Open super 750 badminton tournament beginning here on Tuesday, hoping to annex their first silverware of the new season.

With six titles last year, Satwik and Chirag have been a cut above the rest, and the runner-up finish at the Malaysia super 1000 has only spiced things up as the Indian shuttlers look to deliver at home.

The BAI's flagship tournament, which was upgraded to super 750 in 2023, was a dampener for home shuttlers last season as none of the Indians could cross the second round.
