Punit Balan Group-supported Para-badminton player Aarti Patil made a bronze medal winning return to international circuit after a leg injury that had kept her out of action for months and she is now aiming for a top-10 ranking by August to be eligible to play Level 1 tournaments on the BWF circuit.
Patil, who had not played any international event since the BWF World Championship in Thailand in February, went down to compatriot Manisha Ramadass in the semi-finals in the women’s SU5 category at the Bahrain Para Badminton tournament on Saturday.
