Star Indian men’s duo of Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag Shetty stunned top seeds Kim Won Ho and Seo Seung Jae of Korea in straight games, to storm into the final of the Singapore Open Super 750 badminton tournament here on Saturday. The fourth seeded Indian pair prevailed over the reigning world champions and World No. 1 duo 21-19, 21-18.
Chirag said he and Satwik backed each other when the chips were down. “Even when we were down we kept backing each other and eventually we knew they will crack at some point and if we stick to our plans we knew it will work. We had that belief, and it worked out well for us” Chirag said.
