Indians bury ghosts of 2024 Olympics to overcome familiar rivals, secure medal at Worlds

- ANMOL GURUNG @ Chennai

A WEEK or so before the ongoing World Championships, India's doubles specialist Satwiksairaj Rankireddy, during an interaction with this newspaper, had said that he and his partner Chirag Shetty were inching closer to their best and they'll be leaving no stone unturned in their pursuit to deliver 'magic' in the BWF World Tour Grade 1 competition.
