Every medal reflects our hard work and the pride of representing India," said Bhagat Kadam added, "Our connection on court was strong all week. Beating the local pair for gold shows the level we are now playing at. This win gives us great momentum for the season ahead.

India's dominance extended to the SL3 and SL4 men's singles events, where Nitesh Kumar and Sivakumar emerged champions. In the women's singles SU5, Manisha Ramdass produced a flawless display to secure gold, while in SH6, Sumathy Sivan added another gold to India's tally.

Krishna Nagar earned a bronze in men's singles SH6 and a silver in mixed doubles SH6 while partnering Sumathy Sivan. The duo lost to Indonesia's Subhan and Marlina, 13-21, 9-21, in the final.
