NEW DELHI: Star Indian badminton duo Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty have announced their withdrawal from the upcoming Badminton Asia Championships in the men's doubles category. Satwik is currently recuperating from a shoulder injury, prompting the pair to opt out of the tournament.
In April of last year, Satwik and Chirag made history by clinching the men's doubles title at the Asia Badminton Championships in Dubai. This victory marked a significant milestone for Indian badminton, as they became the first Indian pair since Dinesh Khanna in 1965 to achieve this feat.
